What Causes A Bad Hair Transplant

Not all bad hair transplants are the result of crude technology from 20 years ago. Although the majority of hair transplant repairs deal with these relics from the 70’s and 80’s that transplanted large sections of donor hair, in some cases as many as 30 follicles, it is actually hair transplants done in the last 5 years that is one of the fastest-growing hair transplant repair procedures in the industry.

One of the common characteristics of a bad hair transplant is the exceedingly low hairline. This oftentimes is the result of a patient’s emotional attachment to his old hairline. When a patient is in adolescence the hairline is rather low in its residence in the upper brow. But as the patient ages the typical male hairline moves about 2 cm higher leaving the patient in a panic. What do I do? How do I get that hair back? What often happens is the patient seeks out a hair restoration surgeon who will tap into the fountain of youth and give them the hairline of 10 years ago.

Most reputable hair restoration surgeons will preach a more conservative approach to hair restoration. In the early stages hair loss medications like Rogaine and Propecia can do amazing things with the scalp. But if a hair restoration surgeon isn’t as experienced, or is keen to get the process underway, they will bow to the wishes of the patient. Unfortunately this can leave the features of the face distorted and give the patient a false sense of security that this low hairline will be kept if there is future hair loss.

Luckily Follicular Micro Grafting can help either with removal and re-implantation of the follicles in the low hairline or use the existing follicles to create a more natural and functional look.  Sometimes they can also be removed with the Lumenis Lightsheer hair removal laser.  Things that should have been taken care of the first time.
