Can Transplanted Hair Be Removed and Repositioned?

Your situation actually does occur more commonly than many people realize. It is certainly possible for grafts to be removed and even reinserted with methods based on Follicular Unit Extraction. Basically the doctor would excise the misplaced grafts.

And they may be reinserted to correct the patterning. In most cases, excision through this method will leave tiny round wounds that often heal within a few weeks or months. But the likelihood of scarring will differ from patient to patient. Note that the surface of the skin may be unacceptably irregular and that it may require repeated sessions to attain near complete clearance.

 

This quite challenging procedure is one that I perform on a rather regular basis-  called FUE graft extraction, in which the removed grafts can be replanted, and the tiny holes where the grafts were removed typically heal up within 3 to 5 days.
