Burn Case Hair Transplantation

There are several reasons why you may have a burn mark or scar on your scalp. Maybe you had an injury, an accident. With hair transplant surgery, these scars on the scalp, beard or eyebrows can be closed. It is possible to treat this burned skin, in other words, scar tissue by removing hair follicles from your healthy donor area, but this treatment is more difficult than other hair transplantation treatments due to the reduced blood supply and support tissue level. Follicles taken from the donor area and transplanted into the scar or burn scar gradually grow over 12 months to hide the scar.

Burn hair transplantation is in a way a repair surgery and whether you are suitable for this repair depends on a number of factors. For example, if there is an inflammatory disease in the area, it is expected that the treatment will be completed and at least 1 year will pass before having this procedure. During this process, diseases such as lichen planopilaris , psoriasis and discoid lupus erythematosus should not be active.

There are also some scars that may mean that you are not a suitable candidate for this hair transplant. The scar that we call hypertrophic, that is, the scar that is too thick, limits the blood flow in order for the transplanted hair to grow adequately and function. Such a case should be evaluated.
