After my craniotomy I’ve been left with a big old flap scar and a dent in the hairline at the front I’m not worried about the scar but I hate the dents and my hair is started to recede at the dent I’ve been quoted 10000 pounds to have an implant put in . But I just wanted to ask has anyone had a hair transplant to cover scars

  • Hi Kerbdog33

    I am sorry that you have not yet had a reply to your post but sometimes it can just take a little longer for someone in similar circumstances to see it and offer support. 

    I am sorry to hear that your craniotomy has left some dents and I can understand that this is difficult to cope with. Have you discussed this with your hospital team? I just wonder if there is any support they can offer. 

    My own cancer was different to yours but by replying it will bump your post and hopefully someone will be able to offer some support. 

    In the meantime you could give the Support Line a call and talk things through if you feel it would help.

    There are some links in here that may be of use while you are waiting for a response.
