In the past few years, scar repair has been a significant part of the hair perfect clinics work for patients who have had hair transplants many years ago with the older techniques.

There are two methods of scar repair used on patients:

1. Scar revision with suture

This is a method of scar repair that involves improving the appearance of the scar. If there is not too much tension on the scar the sureons excise the scar and resuture it. Every effort must be made to minimize any tension on the scar as "stretch back" or reopening will occur.

Generally, there is a 90% chance that the scar will improve with scar revision. Other possibilities include a 9% chance that the scar will remain the same, and a small 1% chance that the scar will be worse.

2. Placement of FUE into scar

This has become a very popular means of scar repair. It involves removing hair from the body or head and placing it into the scar tissue at the back of the head. Usually 50% to 90% of the grafts grow in scars, making the scarred areas of the scalpel much less visible.
