Hair transplant is the most effective and best solution for baldness. It would surely be a life changing experience to increase self-esteem of a person who really want hair on their bald head and fluent them with different styles. Hair transplant surgery is a very precise procedure that should always be performed by experts who have several years of experience in the field to yield the best results. However, failure of the surgery can happen due to several reasons, including sloppy surgical method and technical errors. Inexperienced doctors, when practising the surgery, might leave poor results, resulting in depression, patient dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem.

What are the Top Causes of a Failed Hair Transplant Surgery?

A bad hair transplant could result in a number of undesirable results, including obvious or excessive scarring, noticeable implant clusters, or unnatural hairlines

What are the situations where hair transplantation needs to be repaired?

Defective hairlines

Inappropriate Hairline Design: the hairline, formed in a straight line, makes it look artificial after a hair transplant.

The high positioning of the hairline: the forehead looks too broad if the hairline is too high. It can go on balding, too.

Lower Lying Hairline insertion:Patients who underwent hair transplantation in the early ’30s may feel that their hairline looks unnatural and low after a few years. Consequently, their hairline can be fixed by removing the follicular units and reconstructing the hairline.

Compromised Density, Wrong Angulations

In several of the failed cases of hair transplantation, the hair may appear much less thick and the scalp may still be noticeable. Implanting the grafts in between will help to correct the scanty look of the scalp. The angulations of the newly-implanted grafts are also important when it comes to getting natural-looking results from the surgery. This technique requires a great deal of care and expertise.

The Bushy Temple

Temples typically have fine, light-colored hair. Increased density on the temples after hair transplantation due to thick hair implantation gives a bushy appearance. This can be redesigned and fix to give the temples a natural look.

The broad scar on the FUT

Follicular unit transplantation procedures result in a longitudinal scar on the back of the scalp. Unless the incision is closed under stress, it can appear as a large scar. Hair transplantation can be achieved with this scar to make it less noticeable.

Some of the various causes of a botched-up hair transplant with failed results include:

Drying Graft: In case the hair graft is left exposed to the air for over 20 seconds, it can end up getting dry, especially grafts are not kept in a physiologic holding solution (like Platelet Rich Plasma) after extraction.

Incapable Storing: The holding solutions that the grafts are immersed in once they have been extracted are typically meant for the survival of the grafts and thus should always be well- maintained.

Graft Handling: The grafts should be handled very delicately, and the placement should be with steady hands and precision with NO ROOT TOUCH TECHNIQUE.

Graft Depth: depth the grafts are being placed is very important. In case that the grafts are placed too deep into the scalp, they might not survive, and the patient might suffer from folliculitis after the surgery, thereby causing infection of the follicles. Too superficial grafts dried up.

When is the Ideal Time to Undergo Repair Hair Transplant?

specialized doctors take note of all aspects of the previously undergone botched up surgery before moving ahead with the corrective measures.

What are the Best Ways to Repair a Botched up Hair Transplant Surgery?

Repair Hair Transplant is an aggressive method used to repair/reverse/restore the failed hair transplant results. The three top techniques used for the procedure include:

Graft Excision: Through this process, the abnormal grafts implanted during the previous surgery are carefully removed from the scalp and distributed into each follicular unit. Once that step is complete, these are then re-implanted to the proper locations. Since the underlying scarred tissues are also removed during this procedure, the results can improve the overall appearance at the same time.

Camouflage: This is one of the most fundamental techniques used for hair transplant restoration for a patient with botched results. Through this method, the unsightly and improper grafts will be replaced by micro-grafts or smaller follicular units to give a more natural look. This can be a stand-alone technique if you are dealing with a limited portion of the hair. and can be used in conjunction with other methods.

Combination Procedure: This technique is typically used for those patients with a case of failed hair transplant. In this procedure, the larger plugs or grafts are first extracted, dissected, and re-planted before using the camouflage method to cover the entire area.

we measure the current transplant required area to calculate the total surface area measured in square centimetres. Following this, we calculate the number of grafts required to cover the entire area by multiplying the area by around 30 grafts per square. This gives us an estimate of the number of grafts to be required for the procedure.

Redesigning the frontal hairline by extracting the wrong grafts using FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) techniques.

Taking the patient’s body hair to perform surgery again if the patient comes in with a depleted donor area.

Using scalp micropigmentation or revision procedures to conceal the large FUT scarring on the back of the head (donor area).
