In-depth practical guide
Adapting the plan to the patient and treatment area
For Hair Transplantation on Scar Tissue, hairlines, crowns, beards, eyebrows, Afro hair and scars require different angles, density and graft selection. Natural results come from adaptation rather than one design for every patient.
Elements to assess
- Facial proportions, age and styling habits
- Natural hair or hair-shaft exit angle
- Texture, curl, calibre and contrast
- Stability of loss and tissue quality
- Availability of single and multi-hair grafts
Detailed pathway
- Frontal and profile assessment
- Provisional design discussed with the patient
- Selection of suitable follicular units
- Placement according to local direction
- Review of ageing and future needs
Important factors and warning signs
- Irregular gradual transition
- Flat angles for beard and eyebrows
- Respect for the crown whorl
- Care with curved Afro follicles
- Conservative density on scars
- Age-appropriate design
Questions to ask before deciding
- Have you treated comparable cases?
- How are angles adapted?
- What density is realistic?
- Which grafts form the border?
- Could a second session be needed?
- How will the result be reviewed?
