Should All Hair Transplant Surgeons Use the Trichophytic Closure Technique to Minimize Scarring?

This question, asked by a member of our [tag]Hair Loss[/tag] Social Community and Discussion Forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Glenn Charles:

Does every [tag]hair restoration[/tag] physician who knows the [tag]trichophytic closure[/tag] use this? If not, why?

There are several different ways to suture the donor wound in a [tag]hair transplantation[/tag] procedure. Some doctors have tried the trichophytic closure and did not get as good of a result as they did with their previous technique. It is the kind of technique that, if not done properly, may lead to more problems later on. Others feel that if a patient is likely to need several procedures that the trichophytic closure should only used on the final surgery. There are some two layer closures being used in [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery today that leave a donor scar that is very difficult to find.
