Central Necrosis of the Recipient Area

What this photo shows is central necrosis of the recipient area. It is usually the result of grafts placed in large wounds with large instruments and can be enhanced by people who smoke after the hair transplant. This will eventually heal (about 4-6 weeks) and will require wound care. A plan will be needed to address the lack of hair growth in this area after the rest of the transplants start to grow as there will be a scar the size of a Quarter sitting right in the middle of the presenting frontal hairline.
