TLDR Newer techniques like FUE and SMP reduce scarring in hair transplants.
The document discussed the occurrence of keloid and hypertrophic scars in patients who underwent hair transplants, which led to dissatisfaction due to the visible scarring. Although hair transplants were more effective than non-surgical methods, the scarring was an unexpected outcome for some patients.
