Second female hair transplant to add density?

Whether of not you can do a second FUT depends on donor hair at the back. Some patients can do 2 surgeries, some can do 3 or 4 surgeries. As far as shaving, a skilled surgeon can do this without shaving (although it’s much easier for them with shaving). But absolutely- a good surgeon and his or her team can create sites and implant without shaving. If the surgeon takes the appropriate amount, then donor area thinning is not likely, no. Shock loss is always a possibility with every surgery.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. Regarding your questions;
1. If I do a 2nd HT would I have to shave the recipient area? Worries about downtime/ cosmetics during healing. Hoping I can not shave recipient area and mask it with other hairs.
- It is not necessary to shave the recipient area. However, I would recommend you to discuss about this with the doctor you would like to undergo the hair transplant with since different surgeons might have different preferences regarding this issue.
2. Can they even do a second FUT? How does that affect the previous scar? Would that thin out the hair in the back too much?- The 2nd FUT can be done if you have sufficient donor area- The second scar might be wider than the previous one because the scalp is tighter than the first time- FUT usually does not decrease the hair density at the back but it will leave a linear scar at the back of your hair which require you to leave your hair at least 1 inch long to cover the whole scar
3. Is shock loss still an issue in 2nd HT?- The shock loss at the recipient site almost always happens. However, the shock loss on the donor area depends on multiple factors and it seldom happens.
