FUT strip scars solved by beard hair transplants - Dr Umar

DR Sanusi Umar uses the SFET procedure to transplant beard hair into two strip scars to successfully improve the appearance of the scar.

The patient had undergone prior strip type surgical hair restoration at two separate clinics that left him with two STRIP SCARS in the back and sides of his head.

The process of STRIP HAIR TRANSPLANTATION (aka FUT, FUHT, FUSS etc) currently used by most other clinics entails the removal of a strip of flesh from the back of the head.

The resulting wound is sewn up resulting in a strip scar. Soon after the surgery, the resulting scar could start off thin. However, over the course of 6-12 months, the scar could widen or stretch. A widened or stretched strip scar could end up looking like in this patient or the widening could result in an even wider scar that could be sometimes be unsightly.

The ability to keeping the hair on the back and sides of the head short reduces the appearance of baldness. The presence of a STRIP SCAR can make this impossible.

A STRIP SCAR also reduces the option of buzzing the whole head, an option many balding men prefer to exercise at some point. A strip scar could make this impractical

Before beard hair transplantation he unsuccessfully attempted to solve the problem of his STRIP SCAR by tatooing.

The technique by which Dr Umar transplants beard hair is called Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET). This is his protocol for the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which enables the transplantation of body and facial hair (aka body hair transplantation -- BHT ) as well as head hair. The procedure is performed at his Redondo Beach office in California. DermHair Clinic is a division of FineTouch Dermatology Inc.

Dr Umar is a fellowship trained cosmetic surgeon, and Certified dually by the American Boards of Dermatology and Internal Medicine
