If I get a hair transplant and decide I do not like the results, can the implanted hairs be removed?

What are the different options available to have the transplanted hairs removed? After all, the transplanted hair is permanent, that is a good thing if I am happy with the results, a very bad thing if I am not. Thanks.

Answer: A good hair transplant result is like big foot. Hairy but no one believes it. A bad result is like Herpes. It's for life.
