Is it possible to fix a cowlick with a hair transplant?

Asked By:diggsm in Bay Area, CA

I want to fix a cowlick in the front of my hairline. It ruins any hairstyle I attempt. I am not balding but would like to know if there are any chances that the transplanted hair could fall out where they work on. Do they just rearrange the cowlick hair or take new hair from another place? Thanks.
