Correction of previous hair transplant operation using body hair transplant

Causes of unsatisfactory results

It is essential that you educate yourself before undergoing any cosmetic surgery. Consultation with a doctor or practitioner is necessary to fully under the risks and the extent of potential benefits of any cosmetic surgery. The doctor must comprehensively explain all aspects of the procedure to the patient during the consultation. If the patient is ill informed, then they may have unrealistic expectations.

A typical hair transplant surgery involves several thousand grafts. Normally, 10-15% of the grafts fail and the follicle does not grow hairs as normal. The success rate depends on the skill of the surgeon, any medical condition of the patient and the extent to which the patient follows the prescribed post operation care. It must also be noted that most of the grafts grow fully only after several months after the transplant. Hence, the full results of the surgery are not immediately apparent, it is advised to withhold judgements until at least 1 year. However, if even after the waiting period the patient is unsatisfied with the result of the surgery, he or she may opt for corrective surgery in order to increase thedensity of the grafts or make up for unsuccessful grafts.

Unique challenges

Correction of previous hair transplant poses some unique challenges. If the previous surgery was conducted by strip method, wherein a strip of skin is removed, and the rest is stretched and stitched close, then it may not be possible to perform the corrective surgery using the same method. It may not be viable to remove more of the scalp’s skin. 

The most suitable method for correction surgery is FUE method. In this method, a hollow needle is used to extract the hair grafts one by one. This allows removing the hairs from the donor area without removing any more strip of skin. This method can be used to extract the follicles from the side or back of the scalp if the hair is sufficiently dense. However, if the density of the hair on the scalp is not sufficient, then alternatives must be considered.

Body hair grafting

 The major advantage of FUE technique is that it leaves tiny scars, each about 0.6-1 millimetre in diameter since a hollow needle is all that is used to extract the follicles. These scars easily heal almost completely and are not visible to the naked eye. Traditionally, for the strip method, the donor area selected is almost exclusively the sides or the posterior area of the scalp since it is much easier to hide the large scar. 

But due to theabsence of any large scar, it is possible to extract hair follicles from other body parts in the FUE technique. Hair follicles can be extracted from arms, beard, legs, chest or underarms and grafted on to the scalp. The donor area, after healing, is virtually unscarred, and with proper aligning, the target area can have natural appearing hair. Thus, newer techniques such as FUE allow for body hair transplant in order to compensate for lack of hair on thescalp in order to correct previous hair transplant.

An Overview of FUE hair transplant in Turkey

Increasing awareness of hair transplant operation

In the older days, there was little or nothing you could do about hair loss and baldness. It is quite a natural effect of old age, but even in case of hair loss at a younger age, there used to be little that you could do about it. Various treatments such as natural oils or pills have historically had little effect for treating baldness. But thanks to modern medicine and surgical techniques, we now have a solution to baldness, and that is hair transplant. There are many hair transplant practitioners all over the world, and the awareness about transplant is also increasing. More and more people in Turkey are also opting for ahair transplant to address baldness. 

Consequently, there have been several developments in the field of hair transplant. Some earlier surgical techniques are now being complemented and in some cases superseded by newer techniques with significant benefits. An example of a new technique that is being used is the FUE hair transplant technique, which is now being used in place of the traditional FUT technique in many cases.

Older FUT technique

 The main variation between these two hair transplantation techniques is the method of extraction of hair follicles. The follicles are the roots from which the hair grows. In both methods, these hair follicles are surgically extracted from a donor region, typically from the back or the sides of the scalp, and then grafted into the target areas which are suffering from baldness. In the traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique, for extracting the follicles, a thin strip of skin tissue, along with the follicles, is surgically removed. The strip is usually 1 centimetre wide and several centimetres long. The remaining skin is then stretched close and stitched closed. The hair follicles in the strip are then separated from the excess skin tissue and prepared for grafting by a specialist. Then they are grafted at the target area, as earlier mentioned.

Newer FUE technique

 The way in which the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique varies from the traditional FUT technique is the method of extracting the hair follicles. In this method, the hair follicles are extracted one by one using a special hollow needle. This leaves very small circular scars on the donor area. The diameter of these scars is typically about 0.6-1 millimetre, and since they are so small, they are hardly visible by naked eye. Hence, this technique also allows extracting hair follicles from other areas of the body such as the beard, arm, leg and armpits. Using FUT technique for extracting hairs from these areas is usually unacceptable since it leaves very prominent and large scars. Thus, this allows more flexibility in terms of donor areas if for any reason it is not feasible to extract the hair follicles from the scalp.

Since the hair follicles are to be extracted one by one, it is quite tedious and demanding in terms of the skills required from the surgeon. Hence searching for the rock bottom prices for hair transplant surgery is not a wise idea. We at FUE Hairline Clinic employ some of the best FUE hair transplant practising teams in Turkey. Our FUE hair transplant clinics in Istanbul and Ankara consistently deliver great success rate thanks to our skilled and experienced surgeons. Even so, our fees are competitive and reasonable compared to the market prices.

Improving the outcome of previous Hair transplantation correction operation

Variable outcomes of transplant surgery 

Hair transplant surgery consists of transplanting often several thousands of hair follicles to the region of the scalp affected by baldness. It is necessary to understand that this procedure is not always perfect. In a typical hair transplant surgery, about 10-15% of the hair follicles do not grow hair as expected. The rate of failed follicle grafts depends on various factors ranging from specific medical conditions of the patient, skills and experience of the surgeons to the extent of the prescribed post operation care and precautions taken by the patient. Also, it is important to note that most of the hair growth takes place after several months after the transplant. Hence, it is advised that patients wait about a year or more to see the full results of the hair transplant operation conducted.

However, the outcome of the transplant operation does not meet the expectations of the patient even after a sufficient period of time. In such cases, the patient may opt for a correction surgery. In the corrective surgery, more hair follicles are grafted to increase the density of previous grafts or compensate for failed grafts. However, for corrective surgery, certain factors have to be taken into account.

Factors to be considered for correction surgery

If the technique used for the previous transplant is the FUT strip technique, then a strip of skin is already removed from the donor area. Hence, it may not be feasible to remove more strip of skin from the donor area. Even if a strip of skin was not removed in the previous method, the density of the hair on the donor area must be considered before proceeding with the FUT method to remove a strip of skin for the first time. This presents unique challenges for conducting a reparation or improvement of previous hair transplant. The newer FUE technique presents significant advantages making it more suited for a reparation or improvement operation of previous hair transplant.

Advantages of FUE technique of hair transplantation

In the FUE technique, the hair follicles are individually extracted using sharp hollow needles. The operation leaves very small circular holes typically with a diameter of 0.5-1 millimetre. Since these holes are so small, they heal completely without leaving any scars visible to the naked eye. This method does not necessitate the extraction of a large strip of skin, unlike the FUT method. Hence, even if the previous transplant was conducted by FUR method, it is still possible to remove hair follicles from the donor area without any problems, as long as there is sufficient density of hair at the donor area.

However, sometimes there is no viable donor area with sufficient density on the scalp. In such cases, the absence of any visible scars by FUE method allows extraction of hair from anywhere else on the body. Hair follicles from other parts such as arms, armpits, legs and chest can be extracted and grafted on the scalp. The hair from these grafts grows to normal length for the donor area. Hence, the FUE hair transplant technique is well suited for correcting or improving outcomes of previous transplant operations.
