Question:

When I was 3 years old, I had a brain tumor and I have had a scar along the back of my neck for years. I was wondering if this is something that can be covered with hair restoration. Thanks for your time

Answer:

Depending on the location of the scar, you may be a candidate for hair restoration. Though hair growth in scar tissue has the potential to be less than the usual 90% plus success rate, in many cases, the appearance of a scar can be reduced and camouflaged by the transplanted hair growing through it.

I recommend researching the Hair Transplant Network to find a quality hair transplant surgeon nearest to you. To see what protocol we use to recommend physicians in our community, click here. You can also undergo a free virtual consultation with one of our doctors.
