Is it problem to get a transplant on an already transplanted area?

[rahulreddy139]

I got a transplant on the temple region.

The surgeon did not do a good job so the density in the transplanted area is very less.

 

In the future is it possible to get a transplant on the already transplanted area where the density is less? more like a repair surgery ?

 

Thanks

Yes it is done all the time.

Yes most patients need more than one procedure so they transplant around what they did the first time to increase the density.

Is the density of the previous hair transplant the only thing you are not happy with or is there a angle and direction issue also?

@Dr Glenn

 

density is the only issue. And the new hair is little fuzzy

Going over previously transplanted areas is not a problem as such.

 

If there are scarrring or pitting or ridging issues then this will need to taken into account when placing. This doesn't sound the case for you but for some who have repair work this is a possible scenario and not only the lack of density as such.
