Can you fix a bad hair transplant?

Yes — we can fix a bad hair transplant, assuming there are enough follicles remaining on your head within the donor region to harvest from. Typically, bad transplants fall into three camps: 1) unnatural looking hairline, 2) low density, 3) linear scarring from the old strip method.

A bad hair transplant with an unnatural looking hairline can be fixed through softening or changing its shape. A low density bad hair transplant can be fixed by inserting additional follicles. Linear scarring can be minimized by inserting new follicles directly into the scar itself, or by having SMP (scalp micro-pigmentation) performed in that area.
