Hello. I’ve had my third FUT surgery about 2 months ago and due to infection the sutures incision line didn’t heal and skin necrosis happened. 16cm (6.7 inches) to 3 cm (1.2 inches) split skin graft was implemented 3 weeks ago on my donor area. Can FUE be a solution to cover up this area? And how many grafts may be sufficient?
Best regards
FUE is not the way to go in your case. A balloon expander for a problem of this size is the right thing to do. You can learn more about tissue expansion at American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
