“…Most patients with Afro-textured hair have excellent results from hair transplantation surgery and low risk of keloidal scarring. Only one case of keloids at the donor site had been reported in a patient with no prior history of keloids (Brown et al, 1990) until 2017, when the first case of extensive keloid formation at the donor site in a patient after FUE was reported (Garg, 2017).…”

“…The authors surmise that, if normal healing occurs in the donor area and recipient site after 3 months, the patient is a good candidate for a full hair transplant procedure. The risk of keloid formation can be reduced with the initiation of prompt postsurgical prophylactic techniques, including topical corticosteroid agents, silicone gel sheeting, pressure therapy, or onion extract-containing gel (Callender et al, 2005, Garg, 2017, Gauglitz, 2013, Lawson et al, 2017).…”

Hair loss is common in women of color, and is associated with significant psychosocial complaints. Early clinical recognition and prompt initiation of intervention with medical treatment is critical to halt the disease process. In this article, we review the clinical presentations of nonscarring and scarring alopecias in women of color, use of dermoscopy for early recognition of the disease process, and medical, procedural, and surgical interventions. In conditions that result in scarring alopecia, such as late-stage traction, frontal fibrosing, or central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, patients may benefit from procedural interventions, such as hair transplantation, platelet rich plasma injections, low-level laser therapy, or scalp therapy.

Hair transplantation is a relatively safe surgery and is associated with very few complications. It is a cosmetic surgery so the complications may impact social and psychological aspect of the patient. Every hair transplantation surgeon should be aware of possible complications and techniques for the prevention and techniques of their management. Most of the complications are avoidable and can be minimized by proper surgical technique and wound care. Counseling and discussion with the patient before surgery help in proper planning and avoid patient dissatisfaction. Every patient should be individualized, planned, and operated with an aim to zero-down the complications and complaints.
