Repair/reversing HT

[medkram]

Hi, I am 32 years old and have had both strip and FUE done and I am left with an unsatisfactory result at present.

My hairline is about 1 inch above original position but I guess this is ok as temples have receded back.

My main concern is that the mid-scalp region is packed with dense grafts especially in forlock area and this doesn't look natural as my crown area is quite bald (heading for a NW6). Also the direction of some of the grafts in these areas are postioned incorrectly and the hairline doesn't quite match the receded hair in the side regions. I am more concerned about a natural look rather than density. I probably would settle for a reasonably good hairline and sparse coverage (evenly distributed) in mid-scalp. Thinking of starting propecia to settle the hairloss in crown.

Is it possible to remove the 'bad' grafts by FUE, and do most surgeons partake in this kind of work ?

I have also been considering possibly removing transplanted hairs by other methods such as laser or dermabrasion. Does anyone have experience of these reversal methods or have a similar case to mine?

Would appreciate your advice/comments as I am finding the whole thing quite stressful.

Medkram,

 

Yes, it is possible to have incorrectly placed graphs and/or the old larger "plugs" surgically removed, broken up into follicular units, and then redistributed. That is one of the needs I am facing. The process is described in great detail in the section of this site devoted to corrective work.

Can you recommend anyone in UK or Europe who does good corrective surgery.

I was also on Dr bernsteins website and he looks like he is very capable of perfoming good repair work.

Forget Europe mate, none of the so-called surgeons is up to speed; Cross the pond or live to regret you didn't.
