We constantly receive requests to show what the scar looks like with a shaved head. This patient shows off his suture line just 10 days after his procedure and the scar is virtually undetectable. It will continue to heal for the next 12 months.
The red dots are from the eyelets of the sutures and will disappear over the next 2 weeks.
The suture line is less recognizable than a common hair part or crease.
This patient flew in for a hair transplant procedure with Dr. Bolton and had his hairline completely restored, reframing his entire face.
Here are his 5 month results, and he still isn’t even at the half-way point.
Before / 5 Months
Check out his undetectable donor scar with short hair.
Many people are worried about a noticeable and visible scar after getting a hair transplant. Dr. Bolton specializes in leaving virtually no trace of a hair transplant with his MaxHarvest™ procedure.
You can cut your hair shorter after his procedures than any other doctor in the industry, without being able to detect that a hair transplant was completed.
Before / After
He is left with no visible scar, even when his hair is cut down very short.
This is a picture of a patient’s suture line, or scar, 10 days after a MaxHarvest™ hair transplant. There are still some scabs that will heal and fall off, leaving no trace. The scar is virtually undetectable.
This patient chose an FUT procedure over an FUE procedure because he realized that the scar won’t be visible and the results will be 2-3x better. Remember, the reason you are considering a hair transplant is so that you don’t have to shave your head, so why worry about the look of your head with a shaved head?
Our patient was computer savvy and did a lot of research and had a few consultations. There are different strategies depending on the patient’s ethnicity, type of hair, color of hair, thickness and density. Every patient has characteristics that are advantageous and disadvantageous. You must choose a doctor with the experience and talent to exploit your strengths and minimize the weaknesses. The benefits of a hair transplant for African American patient is the combination of lack of contrast between hair color and scalp color for a hair transplant for an African American patient.
I told our patient that, unlike any other doctor, you will walk out the door after your procedure knowing that it was impossible to get more hair. He had the MaxHarvest™ hair transplant which is unique to Dr. Bolton. Hair transplants for African American patients, when done right, can yield great results.
