Can I add density to zone A with a second hair transplant?

Question

I have done an FUE in the past!

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Hair density depends on several factors, please see below. Density is one of the most critical factors after hair transplantation.  Early on you may not be able to fully determine your density.  Density depends on various factors including the number of hairs  per cm squared, the thickness and vibrancy of hair, direction and design of hair.  Techniques for density vary from surgeon to surgeon.  In my office, we utilize a specialized technique that allows for optimizing density and found it to be helpful. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

You can add always add density with hair grafting but to understand the results and realistic outcomes you need to consult with a doctor in person.

First I would suggest you to wait 1 year to pass from your first operation. After that your donor area can have a better recover. If not you can use your beard or chest hair as your donor.

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

What can be done depends on the quality of your donor site and the size of the defect that you want to cover it is quite hard to discuss it without seeing your pics. I do a lot of secondary hair transplants both after FUE and FUT procedures . They are usually successful in some cases we do body hair transplants (if scalp donor is not available)

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

Secondary procedures can help to fill in the areas of lower density from a primary procedure.  The number of grafts we are able to obtain after an initial procedure can be determined through a consultation.  This depends on your donor hair density and the number of grafts used in the initial procedure.
