When a second hair transplant is done in the same area as the first one, is there a chance the hairs from the first transplant will fall out during the procedure? Or should they stay intact? Does this depend on the surgeon's techniques?
Answer: Many patients have second surgeries in the same area as their first surgery to add fullness. Many patients have second surgeries in the same area as their first surgery to add fullness. There is always a chance for damage to existing hairs but an experienced surgeon should be able to mitigate the risk.

Answer: Second HT Should Not Harm The First HT Thank you for your question kamiahmad. It is very rare to have previously transplanted hair shed with a second procedure. However, the further away the follicles are from the optimal donor area, the more likely they may be shed as they may not be as robust. Also using surgical loops can minimize this.

Answer: Wil second hair transplant harm first transplant results Thank you for your question. If properly performed, the transplanted follicles from your first procedure should be permanent. A second transplant could cause some "shock loss" from the trauma to the tissue but generally these follicles will then grow back in. Shock loss is not common but does occur and it cannot be predicted.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Answer: Second hair transplant If the transplant is done with the correct precision and skill, it cannot lead to any harm to the existing hair. Since the transplanted hair tend to be permanent, they should not be affected by a second hair transplant session.

Answer: Second hair transplant There is always a chance the hair from the first transplant may shed, and if it does it is very likely to grow back. Surgeons should be meticulous about placing the second round of grafts between the existing hair, however, so it is somewhat technique dependent. Even with perfect technique however, that can still be a risk. Good Luck!
