Donor Area Repair

I would like to know if it is possible to repair the donor area. I had transplants done over 20 years ago, but they never formed well. I was able to survive on a comb over, but about ten years ago got a good hairpiece. I am satisfied with the piece and have no desire whatsoever to do a HT again (it is still painful in the back today).

The problem I have is that they took way too much hair on the back/left of my donor area. It has always been a problem and I had even resorted to using “Top Coverage” to fill it in so it wouldn’t be noticeable. If my hair gets wet or if I am laying on a pillow watching TV, when I get up, it is noticeable – VERY noticeable.

Ideally, I would love to remove the transplants form the top of my head and put them back on the side. Or, at least, reduces the thinning area in back.

Any ideas? Thank you

Today, we can relocate transplanted hair by removing them from within the old plugs thereby thinning them. When they are taken out, we can then move these follicles into areas of need. The areas of need could be the scars from the old transplants or to fix some abnormalities that make your ‘look’ less than what you may wnat to look like. Look at the links below and see some of the wonderful ‘fixes’ we have done. Send photos of yourself (confidential of course) and then give me a call and I would be happy to evaluate you and your problem.
