Hair Transplant Repair: Fixing a Poor Result

By Dr Sumeyye Yuksel
Hair Transplant Repair: Fixing a Poor Result

Not every hair transplant goes well, and people who have had a disappointing result elsewhere, often abroad, sometimes come to us to put it right. A repair is more complex than a first procedure, but a great deal can usually be improved.

What can go wrong

Common problems include an unnatural or too-low hairline, grafts placed at the wrong angle, pluggy or uneven density, and a poorly harvested donor area. Many of these can be softened or corrected with careful planning, though the starting point matters.

How repair works

Repair often means redistributing or adding grafts to create a more natural result, and sometimes disguising over-harvested areas. Because the donor supply may already be reduced, it is planned especially conservatively and honestly, and we are always straight about what is realistically achievable.

An honest second opinion

If you are unhappy with a previous transplant, book a consultation at our Harley Street clinic for a frank assessment of what can be improved.
