Hair plugs, hair rotation flaps, bad hairlines, bad strip scars, no results, no follow-ups, are just a few of the many things that can go wrong during hair transplant surgery.\u00a0 The most important question every potential patient needs to answer is who is performing the surgery.\u00a0 If you had a bad outcome after hair transplant surgery the good news is that many mistakes made at the time of surgery are fixable.\u00a0 The following are a few of the most common adverse outcomes we have encountered in our San Diego hair transplant practice.<\/p>\n

1) Unnatural results:<\/p>\n

Hair transplants should lead to results that appear perfectly natural.\u00a0 The artistry required for hairline creation<\/a> requires years of experience to get right.\u00a0 A common mistake we see is a densely packed area of transplanted hair surrounding by areas of prominent hair loss.\u00a0 Dr. Kolstad recommends against hair transplants too early in life.\u00a0 It is important that a person declares their pattern of balding before performing a hair transplant.\u00a0 Temporal hair restoration can lead to unnatural outcomes if a person later loses their frontal hairline.<\/p>\n

2) FUT strip scar:<\/p>\n

FUT hair transplant <\/a>is surgery that involves removing a 2\u201d x 10\u201d section of scalp from the back of the head. A scalpel is used to excise the strip of scalp and the incision is closed in multiple layers. Even with meticulous closure, a long, curvilinear scar will be present in the back of the head.
\nUsing state-of-the-art Neograft FUE <\/a>technology hair grafts can be removed one at a time.\u00a0 The stigmata of a \u201cstrip scar\u201d is now a thing of the past thanks, automation and sophisticated machinery.\u00a0 If you are interested in keeping your hair short or shaving your head after hair restoration in San Diego you should strongly consider giving Kolstad Hair Restoration a call.<\/p>\n

3) Hair plugs:<\/p>\n

Fortunately, round hair plugs are not encountered very often anymore.\u00a0 A \u201chair plug\u201d is also called a round graft.\u00a0 Round grafts are groupings of 10-30 hairs placed using punch biopsies in the scalp. \u00a0 Patients receiving hair transplants in the 1970s-1980s we commonly treated using round grafts leading to hairlines resembling dolls hair.<\/p>\n

Many people with hair plugs are surprised and very relieved to know that there are treatments available.\u00a0 The groupings of hair that were placed using a punch biopsy technique can also be excised using a biopsy technique.\u00a0 Dr. Kolstad and his hair team can sometimes section the round grafts into viable micrografts.<\/p>\n
