How Can My Old Hair Transplant Work Be Repaired?

I had [tag]hair transplantation[/tag] several years ago and received [tag]minigrafts[/tag].   Needless to say, I’m not happy with my [tag]hair transplant[/tag] results.   Can they retransplant this old grafts?   What is the success rate for this?

Hair transplant repair  can be performed in a number of different ways.    The previously [tag]transplanted hair[/tag] (minigrafts) can be extracted and then re-distributed into the [tag]balding[/tag] areas. I would imagine the success rate of this [tag]hair restoration[/tag] procedure would be similar as the success rate of Follicular Unit Extraction  ([tag]FUE[/tag]) which is dependent on a number of factors including:

• The hair transplant surgeon  / hair transplant clinic  selected
• The type of surgical tools used to extract the minigrafts
• Proper care of the extracted [tag]hair grafts[/tag] during the extraction, intermediate, and placement process

Keep in mind that removal of these minigrafts will create scarring in the area in which they were extracted.   Once the minigrafts are separated into [tag]follicular units[/tag] and redistributed into [tag]bald[/tag] areas, the scarring can be masked by the transplanted hair.

However, extraction of the minigrafts may not be necessary if they can be properly camoflauged with follicular unit grafting.   This is yet another option for [tag]hair transplant repair[/tag].

I recommend using our hair restoration forum  as a research tool to learn more about [tag]hair loss[/tag] and [tag]hair restoration surgery[/tag].
