8 months post op, new hair is growing in the opposite direction. Can this be fixed without replacing the transplanted follicles?

It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination so you can better understand treatment options after your doctor has a chance to listen to your exact goals.

Thanks for your question. A photograph would help also.I would suggest that soem of the hairs that have been transplanted are taken out and replanted - there is a risk to this as they have already been transplanted once and could be damaged in the harvest. I would go back to your surgeon to discuss the options and then decide. It might be that your surgeon is not as experienced with regrafting a previously transplanted hair follicle and if so then I would advise seeing another surgeon with regards to this I hope this is of help to youBW

Hi, How are you? It would be awesome if you would be so kind as to attach photos. As it is hard to tell and get a visual without seeing it. I would certainly recommend reaching out to your DR with any concerns that you may have because they should have your pre op pictures and can give you a better answer. However, We would be happy to help if you would like to send over pictures. Thanks in advance. 

Thanks for posting your question. Sorry to read of your situation. I firmly believe that proper angulation is critical to the formation of a natural hair transplant result.  If you are unhappy, you should speak with your surgeon and/or seek a second opinion. It is hard to say more about your hair without seeing your hair.  In general though, additional hairs placed properly at the hairline can make all the difference since these hairs are what people see the most. Often a small second procedure can make a huge difference. Best of luck from NYC.

This is a very difficult problem. I would have to see you and determine if we could FUE out those hair that are the problem hair direction and then re-implant them. I would have to understand how many of the grafts have this problem but it can be done!
