Will My Strip Scar Show if I Shave My Head after Hair Transplant Surgery?
I had a [tag]follicular unit strip surgery[/tag] ([tag]FUSS[/tag]) back in 2003. My [tag]hair transplant[/tag] result is okay but I want to shave off my hair. Will my scar be visible? If so, how can I hide it being [tag]bald[/tag]?
Unfortunately, once you have undergone follicular unit strip surgery, shaving your head will expose the resulting scar. You may have success camouflaging the strip scar via [tag]scalp micropigmentation[/tag] ([tag]SMP[/tag]) or scar revision through [tag]follicular unit extraction[/tag] ([tag]FUE[/tag]) [tag]hair transplantation[/tag].
