Camouflaging Craniotomy Scarring with FUE Hair Transplants

Transform Your Look and Confidence with Advanced Hair Restoration

A craniotomy, a surgical procedure performed on the brain, often leaves behind noticeable scarring on the scalp. While these scars are a testament to medical triumph, they can also impact your confidence and self-image. At Bauman Medical, we offer a revolutionary solution for scar camouflage: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, designed to seamlessly camouflage craniotomy scars and restore a natural, full appearance to your hair.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE hair transplant is a minimally invasive technique that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and meticulously implanting them into the scarred regions. Scars from a craniotomy do not naturally grow hair, but with FUE, transplanted hair follicles can thrive in the scar tissue, resulting in natural hair growth in previously bald areas.

Benefits of FUE for Craniotomy Scar Camouflage:

1. Natural Results: The transplanted hair grows naturally, matching the color and texture of your existing hair.
2. Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves tiny, minimally invasive incisions, resulting in minimal discomfort and a swift recovery.
3. Permanent Solution: Once the transplanted hair follicles take root, they continue to grow naturally, offering a long-lasting solution.
4. Boost in Confidence: Concealing craniotomy scars with FUE can significantly improve your appearance and boost your self-esteem.

Factors Influencing Results of Scar Camouflage:

Results can vary depending on the color and quality of your hair as well as skin tone and texture. Regenerative PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) with microneedling can improve the texture of the scar before or after hair transplant. Getting hair follicles to grow in a scar is tricky and requires careful techniques and, sometimes, advanced wound healing treatments. Additionally, Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) can be used to finalize the coverage required.

Our Expertise:

Led by Dr. Alan J. Bauman, a renowned hair restoration expert, our team at Bauman Medical is dedicated to providing exceptional care and results. Dr. Bauman’s extensive experience and innovative techniques ensure that every patient receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique needs.

The Procedure:

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Bauman will assess the scarred area, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for your FUE transplant.
2. Extraction: Using advanced tools, individual hair follicles are gently extracted from the donor area.
3. Implantation: The follicles are carefully implanted into the scarred region, ensuring a natural alignment and density.
4. Recovery: Patients can expect a swift recovery with minimal downtime, resuming normal activities within a few days.
5. Regrowth: You can expect initial hair growth in 4-6 months, with a final result in about 12-14 months.

Real Results:

In the example shown here, this was accomplished after a single session of FUE hair transplantation only and shown approximately 1 year after the procedure. The combined approach of FUE, PRP with microneedling, and SMP provided excellent coverage and a natural look for scar camouflage.
