» is there anything further that can be done to smooth out the skin anymore?

During plug surgery, a 4mm plug is forced into a 3.5mm site. The extra mass and tissue has no where to go but up; this causes ridging. This patient had a deep ridge on either side of the rows of plugs, creating a plateau in the frontal third.

To get rid of unwanted hair, a person can use electrolysis or lasers to try and kill it over several sessions. But, this does not address the ridging aspect, and sometimes does not even get rid of the hair. One of the advantages of FIT plug repair is that the entire follicular unit is removed. That includes the hair and the tissue around it. By removing the tissue with the hair, it helps to debulk the area that is raised.

There are some other options to help bring the ridging down further, like steroid injections. Steroid injections can cause adipose atrophy, affecting the deeper tissues. Too much, however, can cause the surface to become concave.

From normal face to face distance, you can't see the ridging on this patient. If you look very close, you can make it out a little. (That is why I included the up close shots). Steroid injections can help to put the finishing touches on FIT plug repair patients. They may not ever be exactly the same as before the plug surgery, but we can come pretty close.
