In general terms and according to the medical team of Hospital CapilarYes, it is possible to perform more than one hair graft. Nevertheless, It will depend on individual factors of each patient and an in-person medical evaluation will be necessary to know exactly how many times I can have a hair transplant. The usual thing is that with a single intervention the expected results are achieved, but if it has to be repeated, Normally the hair graft is only performed a second time.
Among the guidelines and considerations that are taken into account when evaluating a second hair graft surgery, the following stand out.
The first thing that is considered when considering the possibility of performing another hair graft in a previously operated patient is their expectations of the results. To do this, the result of the hair graft is evaluated first, paying special attention to the state of the donor zone, and is compared to the patient's wishes and preferences.
Depending on your expectations and the results obtained from the first hair surgery, the decision is made to perform another hair graft. When these expectations are practically unattainable for various reasons, another hair transplant is not performed. Hair surgery will only be performed if the desired result is realistic and achievable.
Another factor that influences the decision to perform a second hair surgery is the condition of the patient's scalp and the treatment they are following for alopecia. If the postoperative care have been appropriate and the hair surgery has been performed by professionals in the sector, the scalp will not have any type of impediment to perform a second hair graft. However, problems such as dermatitis or a folliculitis may prevent another intervention from being performed.
On the other hand, it is important that the patient be under medical treatment for alopecia with drugs such as Finasteride and the Minoxidil. Otherwise, the hair will continue to fall and the result of the hair graft will not be adequate.
The hair that has been extracted from the donor area in the first hair graft does not grow back. Therefore, if it is not possible to extract the number of Hair follicles that are needed to achieve an optimal result, a second hair implant will not be performed. Furthermore, if there is a risk of damaging the donor area, leaving a very considerable lack of density visible, hair surgery cannot be performed either.
It is an essential condition to perform another hair graft that at least one year has passed since the first intervention. The process of a hair transplant is long and lasts approximately one year when the definitive results are seen. Before this time has elapsed, no other hair surgery can be performed..
Although a second hair transplant is normally not necessary to recover hair that has fallen due to alopecia, sometimes another intervention is required. The most common cases in which the need to do a second hair graft arises are the following.
Wanting to lower the front line more than it was lowered the first time is usually one of the most frequent reasons for performing a second hair implant. However, this is not possible in many cases, since hair cannot be implanted on top of the frontal muscle. If the patient's physiognomy allows it, the frontal line will be lowered according to the patient's tastes and preferences, but the limit will always be the frontal muscle.
On other occasions, and if the donor area allows it, another hair implant can be performed with the aim of gaining greater hair density. As we have mentioned previously, this will depend on a prior medical evaluation.
A prior medical evaluation is essential to obtain the best results from the hair transplant. In Hospital Capilar You can make your medical diagnosis at no cost in the hands of professionals. Take the step to change and join the hair revolution.
