Hair transplant fails to give you density.
When the hairline is unnatural & ugly.
When the hairline is detectable.
The donor area is damaged.
There can be thinning or fall of the non transplanted as well as transplanted hair.
Why does a hair transplant fail?
There can be many reasons for a Wrong hair transplant.
Improper technique or lack of experience is the commonest reason for wrong hair transplant worldwide.
Wrong selection of method. As we know there are two methods FUT & FUE, but most of the clinics worldwide are mostly doing only one type of surgery. It is always better to choose a clinic that has a competent and confident surgeon with years of experience in both surgeries.
Inappropriate selection of medicines and poor follow up, as we know it is mandatory in most of the cases to use medicines & not only use them but also use them thoughtfully.
Lack of artistic imagination. This is perhaps the most important part of a hair transplant surgery. This aspect has to be combined with the science of hair restoration in order to achieve the desired results.
What makes a repair hair transplant challenging?
Any hair transplant is challenging as it is a new case, with new issues & new opportunities. But repair hair transplant is tough and a testimony to the real skills, art, experience & belief of a hair transplant surgeon. Challenges of a repair hair transplant include:-
The entire focus is on the surgeon, who has to be well equipped with all the arms & ammunition. The surgeon should have experience, skill, confidence & believe to deliver what is needed in his patient. Having a surgeon who knows FUT, FUE, Body hair transplant, Synthetic hair transplant, SMP, Extraction & reshaping of the ugly hairline, combination techniques & above all the intent to help his patient is all that you need. It’s pretty simple, isn’t it? You just have to get to the right man & leave everything to him, that’s it.
There is a lot of scarring in the donor area as well as the recipient area, which can make life difficult for the surgeon.
- The angles in the donor area change completely due to scarring, which makes extraction difficult and sometimes inaccurate.
- The donor area is usually depleted which makes it even more challenging.
- One has to know all the techniques and combine the procedures to give optimal results.
It is difficult to reshape the hairline with the existing wrong hairline. the angles at which grafts have been planted are usually straight & wrong. At times we have to extract them & reuse & then refill.
The patient has lost his donor, money & faith, trust which he had in the doctor & hair transplant procedure which needs to be restored.
