This patient presented with a scalp scar following excision of a prior tumor.

Given the characteristics of scar tissue, we opted for hair transplantation using follicular units harvested from the posterior scalp.

The recipient site was prepared with autologous fat grafting a few weeks prior to transplantation to support vascularization and improve tissue quality.

Each graft was then individually selected and placed, respecting direction, angle, and density to optimize integration and achieve a natural result.

In scar tissue, careful planning and attention to detail are key determinants of successful outcomes.

Have you ever wondered about what happens right after an FUE procedure? Dr. Takata had a follow up appointment from a patient who had hair transplant surgery the day before. He returned for the standard next-day wash.
The donor area already looked clean; those tiny extraction spots usually heal in 2–3 days and soon fade. The recipient area will have crusts for about 10–15 days. After that, some shedding can occur, but the graft bulbs are still there. Expect the first hairs at around three months, a clearer result at six months, and the final outcome at one year.
Sharing these steps and timelines with patients makes recovery less stressful. What part of the post-op timeline do you find most surprising?
