Scar Repair Hair Transplant

In older methods of hair grafting the doctor would cut a significant strip out of the patient’s scalp in order to obtain the donor follicles. This would leave a large scar circling around the back of the head from ear to ear. The scar could be big enough to be seen through short to medium-length haircuts.

The scar tissue can also leave a dead zone, a strip where no hair will grow in, leading to odd and uneven growth on the back of the head.

Dr. Woods has developed a method to aid in repairing the damage to the hair growth coverage on the back of the patient’s head. 1000 grafts of donor hair are taken from the patient’s beard and are used to fill in the dead strip of scar tissue, bringing back an even growth appearance to the rear of the patient’s head.

3500 Graft BHT Body Hair Transplant Before and After Result Video By Dr Woods

This video presents patient “Patrick” who received 1,500 body hair grafts. Rather than deplete the healthy follicle donor area of the head Dr. Woods’ technique instead takes an amount of donor follicles from other areas of the body – the neck, abdomen, and the back. None of the transfers involve large surgical cuts into the patients scalp or skin. Hair transplant procedures that do use such an invasive technique (scalp strip removal or scalp flaps) leave large scars behind. The scalp flap procedure leaves scars all along the temple and hairline which are very noticeable. The strip removal procedure leaves a large scar across the back of the head which is a dead zone where hair will not grow back in, leaving a noticeable patch or gap in the growth pattern. As seen in the “after” images in the video, patient “Patrick” received an even coverage across his head that resulted in a natural looking hairline across the front and at the temples.
