How can I recover my donor area after hair transplant?
Some claim that hair harvested from donor area never grow back again after the hair transplant. They gave the reason that during surgery follicles along with derma papilla cells are totally removed from the scalp which promotes hair growth. There are high chances that these hairs will never re grow. It is believed that you cannot retain hair re growth in both methods of transplant. In follicular unit extraction surgery, follicles are removed one by one from the donor site. When surgeon removed required amount of follicles, tiny white scars remain on head. But there are rare chances that hair will grow again because follicles were completely taken out from the scalp. In Follicular unit transplantation, follicle units are removed in a large quantity with help of a strip. Donor area is stitched or stapled to heal the scar as soon as possible. Follicles are totally extracted so hair growth is impossible.
This is a common false belief that hair won’t grow in all donor area. Hair will regrow in those parts of donor area from where follicle units are not removed. They will resume their growth like other hair on scalp. They will grow even on the scar. Once follicle is gone, no hair can be produced in its place. This is the reason surgeons took grafts from dense area of scalp because taking thousand or two thousand follicles from there have no apparent effects on over all density.
