In Hair Transplant Repair, Can You Re-use Hair from Old "Plug" Hair Transplant?

May 3rd, 2007

Q: I had several prior hair transplants that left me with a pluggy look, I was hoping to re-utilize the removed hair and re-implant it, perhaps in the front as a new, more recessed hairline. It is possible?

A: The hair from the excised grafts is always re-implanted.

The grafts that are removed are dissected into individual follicular units and then placed back in the recipient area in a more natural distribution and angle. See this patient’s hair transplant repair in the Hair Transplant Repair Photo Gallery on the Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration website.
