RSS FeedPitting, Cowlicks After Hair TransplantPosted by doctorwong on January 18th, 2011
I was wondering, what is “pitting” and how does it happen? Second, I had several “cowlicks” on my head before losing my hair. If I were to get a hair transplant, would I get those awful cowlicks again? — S.E.
Pitting is the result of placing large grafts in the scalp without properly controlling the depth of the incision. The surface of the skin becomes indented creating an unnatural pit. This can still happen in some clinics with less experience and old technology but never in our clinic.
Controlling angle and direction of hair is very important in creating a natural result. Cowlicks are a nuisance and make stying the hair difficult. It is good that you have lost the hair that once created a cowlick. The newly transplanted hair would be directed in the proper angle and direction and the cowlick of the past would not be an issue. In short, you would not get that “awful” cowlick again and nor would the hair ever change to the old direction (cowlick) once it is transplanted.
