Looks good!!
Is it true that doc needs to be on conservative side as regards to density on burn scar tissue??
I have read on forums that density has to be kept on lower side for transplanting on scar tissue!!

Dear Hairlove,
Transplanting hair into scar tissue is fraught with dangers of an unpredictable yield due to compromised blood supply.
However, over the years, I have found that the differnece in types of scar tissues also plays a role.
However, in my experience, transplanting at a lower density (<20 grafts/sq cm) v/s at a moderate density (40 fu grafts per sq cms) does not make a difference.
Nevertheless, if the physician feels that the growth in that particular type of scar tissue may not be predictable enough, then it is prudent not to waste too many grafts in the first session. Better to see the result of the first session with hair transplanted at a lower density and then proceed further.
That is the logic behind transplanting at a lower density in the initial session.
Regards,
Dr. A
