Failed Strip Surgery Hairline Transplant – Before Photos:

Prior to visiting Dr. Umar, the patient underwent strip surgery, which meant taking a strip of donor hair from the scalp and implanting that hair into different areas of the scalp. This caused a good deal of scarring.

The below image highlights his scarring.

Upon reaching Dr. Umar, this patient presented with hairline recession around the temples that was not corrected by the strip surgery he had prior, and a very visible and elongated scar from his strip surgery.
