HT and repair prices

[Overthinker]

Hi guys, 

I have a question that hasn’t been answered yet or I missed it somewhere for those who had two or more procedures with different surgeons.

Let’s say someone does the procedure at his frontal third and it’s all good but he wants more and then goes to a different surgeon to add density. Is this considered a repair job by the different surgeon , so you pay it that way , or like the normal HT prices by his clinic ?
I’ve seen that some surgeons charge different and many more for repair jobs , that’s why I’m asking . 
 

thanks in advance !

No, that wouldn't be a repair.

A repair usually includes things like taking out poorly placed grafts, excessive scarring, overharvested donor areas, etc. Adding density is normal.

No, it would not be considered a repair job.  The patient is probably looking for either a better price or a better surgeon. 

When things are bad, however, this becomes a much interesting question.  The second doctor is now taking on the responsibility of what the first surgeon did. This is a pandora's box that can go in many directions.

Overthinker,

Getting a second or third hair transplant procedure from a different surgeon is not considered a repair procedure if the previous procedure turned out OK.

A hair transplant “repair“ is exactly that - undergoing surgery to correct a previous one that didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to. Some people go to the same surgeon to repair their previous procedure that didn’t work right or they could go to a different surgeon.  But unless something actually went wrong with the previous procedure that requires correction, subsequent procedures are not considered repairs whether it’s with the same surgeon or not.  That means the price for subsequent procedures would be that of a normal hair transplant and not that of a repair.

I hope this helps.

Thank you all for your responses!

I just wanted to make it clear with you who have done it before , because I see all the time people claiming they are not “happy” with the density and want to add more but I wasn’t sure how surgeons react to this. 
That helps a lot 🙏🏼

That's pretty standard. Everyone wants more. We all get hair greed.

I know , I already have it before even my first , but I wanted to have a more clear vision about the budget when adding density into areas pre transplanted !
