Hair Transplant Repair Case

, , ,

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who had multiple old hair transplants harvested via FUT from another surgeon. He has a severe form of hairloss (norwood 6) and the surgeon gave him a very aggressive hairline (which is why I always do a more conservative hairline in younger patients). His results ended up being very unnatural with massive hairloss happening behind the hairline. The gap between the hair on the bottom sides and the bald areas on top (the alleys as I call them), is a give away for a hair transplant. Also because he had extensive scarring from his previous procedures he had very little donor hair left in the back. I harvested 1613 grafts via FUE primarily from the sides which still had decent density and transplanted extensively into the alleys and the mid scalp and crown. The results are impressive and much more natural than before. Also we are going to do another procedure in the future using neck beard hair, which will also increase the density even more. The patient is thrilled.

FUE Hair Transplant Into Scalp Scar

, , ,

Greetings,

Here is a patient of mine who had a Mohs surgery to excise a basal cell lesion in the scalp. It unfortunately resulted in a large scar in the frontal scalp and when the operating surgeon attempted to minimize the scar it actually got significantly worse.

The patient presented to me extremely depressed over the large scalp defect just behind her hairline. I transplanted approximately 1000 FUE grafts in two procedures spaced 8 months apart.

The patient is thrilled with her results and this has been a life changer for her. She can now style her hair normally and go out without fear of a heavy wind exposing a large bald patch in the front.

I am often asked if hair can be transplanted into scars and the answer is yes. There is a lower growth rate through scars and we are not able to transplant as dense in a single procedure due to the compromised blood supply, but when performed correctly these cases can be very successful.
