Dues FUE removal of small plugs with a 1mm punch leave “rolling” athrophic scars or just a tiny white scar?
A 1mm FUE (follicular unit extraction) punch has the potential to leave atrophic or tiny white scars, however it is rare. We routinely use a 1mm FUE punch to remove unsightly “plugs” from patients who have had old style hair transplants. Keep in mind that almost all patients with these type of repairs will additionally require a normal, modern hair transplant to fill in the area between the “plugs” to soften the pluggy look.
