blondie134 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hi! I got a question, let's say you got a dense packing of grafts in the hairline. Then as you grow older and loose all native hair behind hairline. Is it possible to actully harvest some of the already transplanted grafts in hairline with FUE and then re-implant them back into the balding areas? I saw this article here which performed it with success:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6026438/ But do you know any other cases? I saw it's common with repair case of hair plugs, as they can reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 15, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 15, 2019 You’ve been given excellent advice. Makes me feel good that our forum is providing no nonsense advice. Bottomline if you’re worried about future hair loss, be conservative. Develop a long-term strategy and plan that will ensure you have hair that looks good now and in the future. Don’t be shortsighted. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Relocating previously transplanted grafts is an unpredictable procedure. often leading to lower growth survival rates. Also, there can be scarring in there areas where the grafts have been removed from. if you are talking about hairline than that would not be acceptable.

Senior Member gillenator Posted October 18, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2019 The potential for the grafts to be damaged when removed is much higher and requires a high degree of skill, yet even with great skill the grafts can be damaged and even transected during the removal process.
