Repair hair transplant in India has gained prominence due to the country’s advanced medical infrastructure and skilled surgeons offering cost-effective solutions. Repair procedures address issues from previous transplants, such as unnatural hairlines, poor graft placement, or scarring, using techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).
Repair Hair Transplant in India
An inexperienced or sloppy treatment method can cause a failed hair transplant. Therefore, a certified doctor’s expertise and skills are needed to perform a repair hair transplant in India.
A hair transplant procedure is the ideal alternative for those suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia and who want a long-term solution to the same. However, surgery failure can happen for several reasons, including sloppy methods and technical errors. Inexperienced doctors, when practicing the procedure, might leave poor results resulting in depression, patient dissatisfaction, and low self-esteem. A team of ABHRS (American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery) certified doctors provide the best repair hair transplant in India for all those patients suffering from botched-up results.
What is a Repair Hair Transplant?
A Repair hair transplant is a specific procedure focused on correcting or enhancing the result of a previous hair transplant that may have caused dissatisfying results. This procedure requires addressing issues such as uneven hair distribution, visible scars, unusual hairline, or poor growth due to poor techniques or inexperienced practices.
During a repair hair transplant, advanced methods like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) may be used to extract healthy grafts from the donor area and redistribute them to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The purpose and goal of this procedure are to restore the patient’s confidence.
What are the Top Causes of a Failed Hair Transplant Procedure?
When it comes to hair transplant surgery in India, you must always contact experts in the field to provide exceptional results, or else you might end up with failed results. Some of the various causes of a failed hair transplant include:
- Drying Graft: If the hair graft is left exposed to the air for more than 20 seconds, it can dry out, especially if it is dry, putting it at a greater risk of damage. This can happen when the grafts are not kept in a physiologic holding solution after extraction; the trimming of the graft has been inefficient during the shift from one place to the other, and the graft has been placed inefficiently.
- Incapable Storing: The holding solutions that the grafts are immersed in once they have been extracted are typically meant for the survival of the grafts and thus should always be well-maintained. Once the grafts are left out of the body for an extended time, the damage risk gets higher by the minute.
- Improper Graft Handling: Experienced professionals are aware of the fact that it takes some time to move the grafts to the recipient area from the bath solution. If by any chance, the grafts are extracted and then piled on a surface, the surgery might fail. The grafts are also to be handled very delicately, and the placement should be with steady hands and precision.
- Graft Depth: As the professionals are performing the procedure, they should also take note of the depth the grafts are being placed. In case the grafts are placed too deep into the scalp, they might not survive, and the patient might suffer from folliculitis after the procedure, thereby causing infection of the follicles.
- Inexperienced Surgeon: Lack of skill and expertise can lead to improper extraction or implantation of hair follicles, resulting in poor growth.
- Use of Outdated Techniques: Relying on older or less advanced hair transplant methods may result in unnatural or unsatisfactory outcomes.
- Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases can interfere with the healing process and hair regrowth.
- Inadequate Aftercare: Failure to follow post-treatment instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure, heavy exercise, or specific medications, can compromise results.
When is the Ideal Time to Undergo Repair Hair Transplant in India?
At one of the best clinics for repair hair transplant in India, our team of specialized doctors takes note of all aspects of the previously undergone botched-up treatment before moving ahead with the corrective measures. Some of the most common cases during which hair transplant repair is required include:
Defective Hairline
This section includes the unnatural design of the hairline and the high or low-lying placement. In any of these cases, once the patient has recovered, the forehead might look too large or too small, enough to have an unnatural look, thereby ending with them being dissatisfied with the treatment.
Wrong Density and Angulations
The hair transplant procedure is a very precise procedure that should always be performed by experts who have several years of experience in the field to yield the best results. However, in cases of a failed hair transplant, the hair, upon complete recovery, might look less dense, leaving the scalp visible. Through repair hair transplant in India, however, you may be able to implant new follicles in the visible regions to reverse the effects. The angulations of the newly implanted grafts are also important when it comes to getting natural-looking results from the treatment.
FUT Scars
As part of two of the most popular techniques used for the treatment, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), now known as the Linear Excision Method, often leaves a linear scar at the donor site. In case the incision is closed under tension, it can appear as a large scar, which a repair hair transplant can fix. This is also true for those suffering from stretched scars due to the use of improper tools.
Bushy Temples
The temples of every man and woman typically have finer and light-colored hair than the rest of the scalp. When you undergo a hair transplant procedure, the results should remain the same as well. However, when inexperienced doctors perform the same, you might end up with an increased density on the temples, thereby leaving a bushy look that repair hair transplant can redesign and fix.
What are the Best Ways to Repair a Botched-Up Hair Transplant Procedure?
The various ways we can repair a botched hair transplant involve:
1. Taking the patient’s body hair to perform treatment again if the patient comes in with a depleted donor area.
2. Using scalp micro pigmentation or revision procedures to conceal the large FUT scarring on the back of the head (donor area).
3. Redesigning the frontal hairline by extracting the wrong grafts using FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) techniques.
How are the Top Techniques used for Repair Hair Transplant in India Performed?
Repair Hair Transplant in India, when performed by the experts at our Agra-based speciality centre, is an aggressive method used to repair/reverse/restore the failed hair transplant results. The three top techniques used for the procedure include:
Camouflage
units to give a more natural look. This can be a stand-alone technique if you are This is one of the most fundamental techniques used for hair transplant restoration for a patient with botched results. Through this method, the unsightly and improper grafts will be replaced by micro-grafts or smaller follicular dealing with a limited portion of the hair. It can, however, not help restore hair that has been transplanted way too low on the forehead and thus can be used in conjunction with other methods.
Graft Excision
Through this process, the abnormal grafts implanted during the previous procedure are carefully removed from the scalp and distributed into each follicular unit. Once that step is complete, these are then re-implanted to the proper locations. Since the underlying scarred tissues are also removed during this procedure, the results can improve the overall appearance at the same time.
Combination Procedure
This technique is typically used for those patients with a case of failed hair transplant. In this procedure, the larger plugs or grafts are first extracted, dissected, and re-planted before using the camouflage method to cover the entire area.
Repair hair transplant can also be performed through laser procedures and Scalp Micropigmentation, where tiny dots of pigment are tattooed on the area to give an illusion of fuller hair.
At Saraswat Hospital, as part of the repair hair transplant in India procedure, we measure the current strip scar to calculate the total surface area measured in square centimeters. Following this, we calculate the number of grafts required to cover the entire area by multiplying the area by around 30 grafts per square. This gives us an estimate of the number of grafts to be required for the procedure, and the final cost for the same is calculated using that same statistic.
