Cobblestoning in Hair Transplantation: Addressing and Preventing a Potential Complication at Estefarya Hair Transplant Center

At Estefarya Hair Transplant Center, we prioritize the highest standards in hair transplant procedures while ensuring our patients are informed about potential complications such as cobblestoning. Understanding and addressing this issue is crucial for achieving optimal results and patient satisfaction.

What is Cobblestoning?
Cobblestoning is a term used to describe a potential complication that can occur after hair transplant surgery. It refers to a bumpy or uneven appearance on the scalp, reminiscent of a cobblestone street, resulting from grafts being placed either too superficially or too deep into the recipient sites.

Causes and Prevention of Cobblestoning:

  1. Improper Graft Placement: Cobblestoning often arises when hair grafts are not placed at the correct depth in the scalp. It is a technique-sensitive issue, emphasizing the need for skilled and experienced surgeons.
  2. Graft Size: Larger grafts can also contribute to this complication, making the choice of graft size and type an important consideration.
  3. Preventative Measures: At Estefarya Hair Transplant Center, we use refined techniques to ensure grafts are placed at the appropriate depth and angle, minimizing the risk of cobblestoning.
