Accepting hair loss after a failed overseas transplant: Any doctors perform SMP to disguise a botched hair transplant?

September 3, 2017
Asked By:jh5150 in Australia, AU

After an terrible transplant back in February that left me depressed and with a depleted donor area, I've learned a very expensive lesson. On a positive note, I suit a shaved head. I'd like to get some SMP to disguise the donor area and move on with my life. After essentially throwing away that money away to get butchered, I want to make sure the person doing my SMP is highly regarded. I am located in Sydney Australia, but am willing to travel to make sure I get the best work possible.

Is it better to do micropigmentation after a hair transplant so it's easier to visually place grafts?
Sara Wasserbauer, MD - Account Suspended says:

SMP can be done before or after transplant, and it depends on your goals.  If you are looking to see if SMP may camouflage your loss enough to not need a transplant, then it would make sense to do it before considering transplant and would still be practical to have a transplant later...
