I got a hair transplant that gave me some coverage, would like to get a second one to increase density but am concerned that the 1st transplant may have damaged my scalp, is this common? I've heard there may be scar tissue from the 1st transplant (if the grafts were placed too close together, etc) and so further density from a 2nd transplant may not be possible. Would really like to know the odds before I spend that much money again. Thanks!
Answer: 2nd Hair Transplant For patients that need a high number of grafts to achieve coverage and density across the scalp, multiple hair transplant surgeries may be necessary. When hair transplants are done properly and with the most up-to-date techniques, there is minimal scarring (or scar tissue). Without seeing pictures or having an in-person consult, it’s hard to determine your candidacy for a second procedure. But if your first hair transplant was done properly and with modern techniques, you most likely won’t have a problem with getting a second procedure to achieve greater density, granted you have a healthy, full donor region.
