I am considering my second hair transplant as I have developed some baldness since the first procedure. My question is, can the old donor scar be made into a tricophytic scar during the second procedure?
Yes, the trichophytic closure can be done on the second or even third procedure to try to make the scar smaller. I haven’t written much about the trichophytic closure in recent months, but essentially it is a technique to minimize donor area scarring for those that have a hair transplant using the strip method. You can find photos here and here.
