Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You really cannot "reverse" a hair transplant just like you cannot go back in time.  There may be ways to "fix" or make it better but you would need to see a doctor for this.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

There are several methods for reversing hair transplantation. We would need to see photographs to determine whether direct excision or hair removal would be the best option for you.

Alan S. Feller, DO · Answer

Since you've just had the procedure, why not wait to see how it turns out first? You've got nothing to lose. Some patients go through a form of post op regret (like buyers remorse) and go through periods of depression. Wait to see how it looks first.There really is no way to reverse it because you will need to do more surgery, which will damage the skin more and leave more obvious scars. If you really hate the transplants, look into electrolysis instead of cutting out the grafts. Far less chance of more visible damage to the skin.

You made a decision that you must live with at least until all of the grafts have gown in. Then see a doctor and discuss your options but I can say the options are limited. You could shave your had and have Scalp Micropigmentation done which looks great and will hide your hair transplants. See below

There are so many possibilities to treat the unwanted or undesirable results of hair transplant surgery; in fact we wrote a medical textbook on the subject of HRS. Please forward pictures, a history of how many grafts you had, and what you don't like.

you need to wait for full growth to see the results. Once all the hair is grown in you can see a hair loss specialist to remove the hairs that you do not want.
