I  had a  hair transplant several years ago and am very satisfied with my new hair.   However, I  prefer to wear my hair short as a buzz cut but when I do, my scar is showing.   How can I successfully conceal my scar?  

Thanks for you inquiry,

There are several ways you can conceal a donor scar, however, one thing your hair transplant doctor should have told you is that wearing a buzz cut (depending on the length of the clip) will most likely not be possible without revealing a bit of your surgical scar.   The way I see it you have a few options:

  1. You can try a concealor  such as dermatch or toppik on the scar to camoflauge your hair transplant scar.
  2. Grow your hair a bit longer so your existing hair covers your scar
  3. Consider scar repair surgery.   You can find more information scar repair  here.

I hope this helps.
