After Hair Transplant Surgery |
| Question: |
Dr. Stone, around
15 months ago I had micro/mini grafting done. The grafts grew but I have
little bumps from the grafts, I noticed them when I cut my hair really
close. I was wondering if over time they might go away and also what
causes them? Also, I hear that Follicular Unit hair transplants is better
because you have less of a chance of developing these bumps. Is this
true to your knowledge? Thanks. |

| Answer: |
Bumps
that appear in the short term are usually due to skin growing over the
grafts. This is temporary & resolves when the hairgrafts become longer.
Bumps appearing later after surgery at the recipient sites can be due
to scarring from local tissue trauma or the transfer of too much scalp
skin along with the grafted hair. Follicular unit transfer has less risk
of this happening because the recipient site holes are smaller & less
skin is transferred with each graft. This is also known as a cobblestone
appearance & it may be amenable to CO2 or Erbium laser treatments. |
