A repair hair transplant, also known as a revision hair transplant, is a medical procedure whose aim is to correct unsatisfactory outcomes from a previous hair transplant procedure such as unnatural hairlines, poor graft placements, visible scarring, etc. During repair surgery, experienced surgeons and their team carefully extract and redistribute grafts to produce a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Repair surgery gives people the chance to regain confidence after a botched operation. The procedure requires an in-depth understanding of hair anatomy and outstanding surgical skills to produce the desired effect.
If you have previously undergone a bad hair transplant and you are not happy with the results, Civas Hair Transplant can correct it for you. Some of the adjustments are hairline restoration, repair of the donor site scar, increasing hair density and improving hair distribution.
Dr. Civas has specialised in the technique of designing natural looking hairlines. Additionally, he has a holistic way of distributing the grafts on the scalp, such that no one can detect the hair transplant. Recipient sites are prepared with lateral slits that will result in fuller denser hair.
Incision sites should be made with very thin instruments, to avoid visible scars. Punches used to extract grafts by FUE should be a maximum of 1mm. The angle of incision of the grafts should be carefully determined so that the results are natural and neat. Recipient sites are prepared with lateral slits that will result in fuller denser appearance.
Graft excision – Grafts transplanted in wrong places or in wrong directions can be removed and re-implanted correctly. This is very useful for plug techniques, the plugs can be extracted; grafts dissected from them and re-implanted in a natural distribution.
FUT scar revision – Grafts can be transplanted into the FUT scar together with scar excision to reduce the size of the scar. Laser resurfacing, fillers and dermabrasion procedures can be used to smooth and prepare the scar tissue before transplant.
Hairline re-design – can be done to correct uneven and asymmetrical hairlines. For a good appearance, perfection of the hairline design and frontal hair distribution play a significant role.
Camouflage – For a soft natural hairline, 1s and 2s follicular grafts are placed at the front, then larger grafts 3s and 4s are transplanted behind them.
Laser hair removal – Hair in wrong places e.g. very low hairline can be permanently removed by laser.
FUE – grafts can be transplanted into areas with sparse density and scars.
Body Hair Transplant – body hair can be used in cases of insufficient donor supply.
Scalp Micro-pigmentation – In cases or poor donor with the large bald area, scalp micro pigmentation can be done to give an impression of the presence of hair.
