Hair transplant correction surgery , hair transplant revision surgery – Hair transplant operations are one of the popular medical aesthetic procedures of recent years and the number of operations performed is increasing every year. Every year, millions of women and men travel to other countries to achieve the look of their dreams, spending time and money for this procedure.

So can they all get the look they want? Of course not. But why are some people super happy while others are unhappy? To find the answer to this question, we must first take a look at the reasons for hair transplant failure.

Reasons for Failure in Hair Transplantation

One of the main reasons for dissatisfaction is that patients who are not suitable for hair transplantation are operated on and promised results that their current hair condition will not allow. Unfortunately, as in every sector in the world, there are people in the medical aesthetics sector who do not care about the feelings and health of the person in front of them. Please make sure that the clinic you choose is a reputable clinic that tells you the truth. Try to reach the experiences of patients who have had the procedure done before and review the comments.
Medical aesthetic procedures are not vital procedures, they are performed to achieve the desired appearance of the person, and the success of the hair transplant is measured by how well the result of the operation matches this desire. No matter how natural and dense a transplant a surgeon performs, if the patient thinks that the resulting hair should be different, we cannot say that the hair transplant was successful. For this reason, the surgeon and the patient need to make sure that they fully understand each other during the planning phase.
Lack of a natural appearance in the front line, namely the hairline, an artificial brush-like appearance; in short, a grass man appearance in common usage. It is the appearance created by transplanting grafts containing more hair instead of thick, single hair in the front line and/or transplanting the grafts at different right angles. The fact that someone is in the room during the procedure and the skills of the surgeon separate the grafts according to their structural characteristics prevents this appearance.
Failure of transplanted grafts to emerge:

A) Clinical reasons: Damage to the roots due to improper harvesting, grafts not being kept in appropriate solutions or dying as a result of the procedure taking too long, death due to being squeezed too much during the transplantation process, infection transmission and many more reasons can be listed. The only way to prevent these is to choose a reputable, experienced clinic where surgeons and staff who have made their job the center of their lives are present.
B) Patient-based reasons: The patient’s care during the recovery period is as effective as the hair transplantation procedure itself. Grafts may come out of their place during washing in the first days. Or graft loss may occur during sleep. Infection may develop due to lack of care. For this reason, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the hair transplantation clinic and contact them for even the smallest detail.

A result with a lower density than desired is also one of the reasons for failure. This may be because not all of the transplanted grafts have grown; more likely, the planning has not been done properly. Correctly determining the surface area to be transplanted during the planning phase ensures that the desired density is achieved. If the surgeon cannot correctly fit the number of roots to be transplanted, the number of hairs in the roots and the thickness of each hair into the equation, disappointment is inevitable. Of course, hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure, so the patient’s opinions are also very important, but still, listening to the surgeon’s suggestions during the planning phase may prevent an unpleasant result in the future and prevent hair transplantation correction surgery.
Losing existing hair is another reason for dissatisfaction. While waiting for new hair, losing existing hair can be a nightmare. The reasons for this are:

A) It takes about 1-2 years for the results to be seen completely after hair transplantation. During this time, untreated hair falls out in its normal cycle due to testosterone and the result will not be as expected. Your surgeon should also evaluate the condition of your existing hair and perform procedures in these areas or guarantee the health of your hair with medical treatment.
B) During the operation, unnecessary and/or frequent opening of channels between your existing hairs, outside the direction of these hairs, will cause the loss of your healthy hair. Although hair transplantation is seen as a simple procedure, it is a surgical tissue transplant, so know who your surgeon is and his/her experience.

What can I do after a failed hair transplant? Can I fix the hair transplant?

The answer to these questions is yes. It is possible to fix a hair transplant that went wrong and did not give the desired result. This procedure is called hair transplant correction surgery or hair transplant revision. All that is required for this is to have enough donor area left.

Unfortunately, it is not healthy to transplant previously transplanted hair to another location, so the donor area must provide enough grafts to perform the planned procedure.

Again, we regret to say that, unfortunately, in some clinics in Europe and America, which are inexperienced but demand high fees, we see that there are almost no donor areas left as a result of the procedures performed, and revision is not possible.

How can I fix my hairline?

One of the questions we encounter most frequently as Smile Hair Clinic is how to correct hairlines that are defined as artificial, brush-like, baby hair-like, grass-man-like.

As we mentioned before, transplanting thick, multiple hair-containing grafts to the front line and/or failure to adjust the channel angles may cause an artificial appearance in the hairline that will cause even someone who sees you from 10 meters away to understand that you have had a hair transplant.

There are two ways to fix this, either the hairline is moved down a little to create a new and natural hairline, or the hair follicles that cause this appearance are unfortunately removed with an electrolysis device.

Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the scalp or body. Today’s medical electrolysis devices destroy the hair growth center with chemical or heat energy. After a very thin probe is inserted into the hair root, the hairs are removed with tweezers.

Electrolysis-assisted Hair Transplant Corrective Surgery

Hair Restoration Surgery is possible with Electrolysis. Since it is not limited to hair color and hair type like laser hair removal, we can say that Electrolysis is the most effective method and when done correctly, it is also a cosmetically successful procedure.

Moreover, electrolysis hair transplant repair is a permanent procedure that can really help the patient have a more natural hairline and a faster result.

With Hair Transplant Correction surgeries performed with this method, the desired dense and more natural hair lines are achieved. On the other hand, remember that in the wrong hands – just like a hair transplant operation – electrolysis hair transplant repair can lead to a very bad scar and even dermal atrophy.

Smile Hair Clinic doctors evaluate the appropriate options in our clinic and perform hair transplant correction surgeries to ensure that our patients have a natural and dense hairline.

Will the more I pay, the more successful the hair transplant result will be?

Of course not. The marketing world, where everything is an illusion, may try to convince you of this. Hair transplant prices in Istanbul, the epicenter of hair transplantation, are much cheaper than clinics in many European countries and the Americas.

Despite this, hair transplant clinics provide first-class service and accept patients from many countries every year. Smile Hair Clinic ensures that patients who have been disappointed by paying 9-10 times the price in clinics in other countries of the world each year get the look they want and turn into a real gentleman.
