Jeremy Piven's Bad Hair Transplant Scar (and how to avoid one)

Although linear cropping or 'the strip-method' may be the least costly method to transplant hair, it can result in a 'tell-tale' donor scar which might be visible from the distance otherwise engrossed in enough surrounding hair.

To prevent a linear scar to begin with, consider hair transplantation using the FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction approach.  A brand new device, known as NeoGraft, enables the surgical team to effectively transplant more hair hair follicles throughout an FUE procedure than ever before.  YouTube superstar Kevin 'Nalts' Nalty and Actor/Director Greg Benson (Mediocre Films) both lately went through FUE/NeoGraft hair loss transplants and recorded their encounters online.  FUE with NeoGraft, as seen lately on Rachael Ray "Cosmetic Surgery Discoveries," enables the cropping of follcicles in the donor area without using a knife, stitches or staples.  And, while no process could be 100% scar-free, after a few days healing is finished and undetected from the social distance--despite a really short haircut.

Should you must undergo a linear harvest (possibly because of budget or extensive hair thinning), make sure hair transplant surgeon is skilled at 'trichophytic closures.'  A trichophytic closure or tricho-closure is really a microsurgical closure technique which enables hair to eventually grow hair with the scar--assisting to camouflage it.   Tricho-closures aren't one hundredPercent perfect solution, but typically permit shorter haircuts than non-trichophytic linear closures.  Also, when preparing for the transplant, enable your hair length within the donor area grow to a minimum of 1 ".  This can allow camouflage from the stitches rigtht after a linear harvest.

If you have were built with a linear harvest and also have a difficult scar, stop worrying!  A little FUE/NeoGraft hair surgery procedure may be used to redistribute healthy donor hair hair follicles in to the scarring left from hair loss transplants or scars using their company scalp surgery, therefore hiding it.   Linear Scar Camouflage methods typically require about 250-350 follicular-unit grafts and today with NeoGraft, can frequently be carried out just a couple of hours.   Sometimes, several scar-camouflage procedure is required, with respect to the harshness of the scar.   Again, scar-camouflage methods aren't one hundredPercent remedy for a poor scar, however they can frequently significantly enhance the coverage with only just one FUE/NeoGraft session.

Here is a good example of an FUE/NeoGraft donor area Before, Soon After and something-Week After cropping of 1600+ Follicular-unit grafts.  More FUE donor area photos, including extraction and implantation pictures take presctiption flickr.

My suggestion to Mr. Piven is always to consider FUE/NeoGraft hair surgery procedure to camouflage the linear donor scar.
