Corrective Procedures
Nearly half of all the hair restoration surgery performed at the New Hair Institute involves some type of corrective procedures to fix the hair transplants, scalp reductions and flaps performed by other physicians.
Using Follicular Unit Transplantation, we have the ability to correct the old "Pluggy" or "Corn-Row" look that resulted from outdated or poorly planned procedures. This can be accomplished by camouflaging the old work or, when necessary, actually removing the larger grafts and re-transplanting the hair in a more natural pattern. This is carried out with the aid of the stereo-microscope that gives us the ability to remove an old plugs, separate them into individual follicular units, and re-implant them with minimal damage.
Microscopic dissection also allows the retrieval of donor hair in, and around, the scar tissue produced by the old transplants, significantly increasing the amount of usable hair. This latter technique is extremely important since so many patients that have had older types of surgery are left with a severely depleted donor supply. Preserving every follicle is essential in order to make the most out of repair procedures.
