How is Failed Hair Transplant Corrected? We all strive for a full head of healthy hair, but unfortunately, not every hair transplant procedure yields the desired results. However, the good news is that a failed hair transplant doesn’t have to be a permanent setback. Let’s explore the reasons behind unsuccessful hair transplants and discuss the various corrective measures available to restore your confidence and achieve the desired outcome.
A failed hair transplant can occur due to several reasons, including poor surgical technique, inadequate donor hair supply, improper graft placement, or improper post-operative care. These factors can lead to unnatural hairline design, sparse hair growth, visible scarring, or an overall unsatisfactory outcome. It is crucial to identify the specific causes of the failed procedure to determine the appropriate corrective measures.
Corrective Measures
Revision Case: In cases where the initial transplant has resulted in visible scarring or poor graft placement, revision surgery can help correct these issues. The surgeon will carefully remove and reposition the grafts, ensuring a more natural hairline and better overall aesthetic results.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): SMP is a non-surgical procedure that involves depositing pigment into the scalp to create the illusion of thicker hair. This technique is particularly effective in camouflaging visible scars from previous surgeries and adding density to areas with insufficient hair growth.
SMART™ Follicular Unit Excision (SMART™ FUE): SMART™ FUE is an advanced hair transplant technique that involves individually extracting healthy hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them in the recipient area. This method allows for precise placement of the grafts, minimizing the risk of unnatural-looking results. This technique is only available at GLOJAS.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the growth factors found in the patient’s blood to stimulate hair growth. When combined with corrective measures like revision surgery or SMP, PRP can enhance the success rate of the corrective procedure.
Hairpieces and Hair Extensions: For those seeking immediate results or as a temporary solution, hairpieces and extensions can be a viable option. High-quality hair systems or extensions can seamlessly blend with your natural hair, providing a fuller appearance while your hair recovers or until you decide on a more permanent solution.
Choosing the Right Surgeon
The success of any corrective procedure heavily depends on choosing a skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeon. Look for a surgeon with a proven track record, positive patient testimonials, and expertise in corrective hair transplant procedures. Schedule consultations with multiple surgeons, ask questions, and thoroughly discuss your expectations to ensure that you are making an informed decision.
