Common Problems We Can Fix
Patients who seek revision surgery often feel discouraged after an unsatisfactory first experience. We specialize in correcting these issues and restoring both appearance and confidence. Common problems we address include:
- Unnatural or Pluggy Hairlines – Outdated techniques can leave harsh, obvious results that look anything but natural.
- Visible Scars from Strip/FUT or FUE – Prominent donor scars can be softened, concealed, or excised with advanced methods.
- Poor Growth or “Cobblestoning” – Sparse, uneven graft survival that makes the transplant look patchy.
- Depleted Donor Areas – When donor hair has been overused, we carefully plan supplemental options.
- Complications From Outdated Procedures – Including scalp reductions, mini-grafts, or other older methods that left unsatisfactory outcomes.
We can turn failed transplants into natural-looking results that blend seamlessly by utilizing his advanced surgical tools and decades of experience.
Advanced Techniques for Hair Transplant Repair
Revision surgery often requires more than standard transplant methods. Our doctors apply advanced surgical techniques to repair scarring, restore density, and create results that look natural from every angle.
- Trichophytic Closure – A refined method of suturing strip scars that allows hair to grow directly through the scar line, making it far less visible.
- FUE – Individual grafts can be used to camouflage scars, repair depleted donor zones, or refine hairlines with precision.
- Scar Excision & Plug Redistribution – Large, outdated grafts or visible plugs can be removed, refined, and redistributed for a softer, more natural appearance.
- Beard & Body Hair as Supplemental Donor – In cases of limited scalp availability, carefully selected follicles from the beard or body can be used to achieve the desired density.
By combining these techniques, our doctors restore not only appearance but also confidence for patients who thought their results could never be corrected.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplant Revision in Chicago, IL
How do I know if I am a candidate for revision surgery?
If you’ve had a prior transplant that left unnatural results, visible scars, or poor growth, you may be a candidate. A consultation will determine the best options based on your scalp, donor supply, and goals.
Will I need more than one procedure?
Some cases can be corrected in a single session, while others may require staged treatments. Your doctor will outline a realistic plan tailored to your situation.
Can previous scarring be completely hidden?
While no surgery can guarantee invisible scars, advanced techniques like trichophytic closure and FUE camouflage make scars significantly less noticeable.
