Can transplanted hair be removed?

There are many ways to remove hair transplants. In the days before modern hair transplants when plugs were common, I used to cut them out, one at a time. With big plugs that was never a problem, just time consuming and costly. Now there are other ways to remove transplants but they all run the risks of scarring, these techniques include lasers, FUE per graft, large excisions of groups of grafts which work well in hairlines and leave minimal scars, but they do scar. Not an easy problem. Best, never do a hair transplant unless you are sure of your doctor and your procedure.

We do have some patients that come to our office that have done bad transplants else where and want to remove and re construct.  We usually use extraction technique to remove the hair, and if they need to reconstruct we do it around the extraction.
