Hair Restoration Repair for Past Hair Surgeries Using UGraft

Hair Restoration Repair for Past Hair Surgeries Using UGraft : The effects of thinning hair and balding can be detrimental, regardless of the cause. Decreased self-confidence and negative self-esteem may occur. It is even more difficult for a patient when baldness and untoward scarring occurs after a first ill conceived hair surgery. This leads to a need for hair restoration repair of these past surgery poor results.

Hair Restoration Repair is needed when Initial Hair Restoration Fails

Severe baldness is the increasing result of past hair restoration repair surgeries. Older techniques often produced extensive scarring and unnatural appearance.

Past methods:

  • Scalp reduction
  • Temporoparietal-occipital flaps
  • Punch graphs
Current methods result in a more natural appearance, but some still produce scarring difficult to conceal. The common follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) technique produces large, unsightly scarring. This strip scar is a main cosmetic drawback of the surgery. Patients may opt to have surgery again to correct botched surgeries, stretching and scarring with hair transplant repair. Additional hair loss is one of the most common reason.

Cosmetic issues from previous surgeries:

  • Strip surgery scars
  • Asymmetry
  • “Doll’s Hair” appearance
  • Harsh hairline
  • Poorly placed or/and angled hair
  • Depleted head donor supply
  • Deformities from scalp reduction, hair flap surgeries
  • Donor punch scars

Another hair restoration surgery also requires more donor hair. For many patients, the first procedure used all sufficient donor hair on the head or left excessive scarring. Lack of donor hair on the head initially made a second surgery impossible.

Hair Transplant Repair Surgery Options

Today, hair transplantation is available for the severely bald and those who lack tradition donor hair. The UGraft method has expanded donor areas. Body hair transplant (BHT) harvest non-head and  increases with sources for follicle extraction.

Both allow for a more precise placement of grafts due to the smaller size and creates a natural-looking hairline. Scarring is also minimal with the tiny, round holes not visible.

For successful hair transplant repair, patients must first address reasons for hair loss. Once current issues are addressed, the patient can make a plan for a second hair transplantation surgery. While burdensome and expensive, new options for restoration allow a second chance.

What to Look for in a Surgeon

Hair transplant repair requires an exceptionally skilled surgeon. A second surgery involves more variables and risks to address for a successful procedure. Trusting the surgeon is also important since the second surgery may be a more emotional journey, so trusting a surgeon is paramount.
