I live in the eastern PA area. I want to get this repaired and I figure an FUE session would be worth trying. I’ve tried SMP and it didn’t work well. Is there success with FUE into scar tissue? Are there any experiences both positive and negative that can be shared? I’ve visited a Long […]

See the following link for a repair: https://baldingblog.com/repair-of-hairline-transplants-photos/ which can be used when the hairline is unnatural, straight or pluggy; however, this man has low corners which suggests that the grafts might best be removed with FUE to allow for a more normal position and general mature shape of the hairline.
When I was around 14 my brother took me to the barber and made me get haircuts that looked good but required a hair dryer to maintain the look which I wasn’t good with. Every morning after having a shower I would use a shitty hair dryer on the max setting on my hair for […]
I love doing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) because at times, the results are instantaneously amazing as it was today. Leave aside some mild pink color to the area of the scar that was just treated (it will be gone tomorrow), he was blown away by the disappearance of his scar from two hair transplant procedures in […]
This is a common finding, something that I had with even more balding in the crown. Frontal hair loss and crown hair loss go hand-in-hand. He has a great hairline now, but at some time in the past, he had terrible pluggy hair transplants. He was fortunate to have had it repaired (and his white hair […]
This patient had multiple strip hair transplants, and the surgeons who did this did not keep all of the scars in one place. As a result, the patient ended up with a terrible scarring complication, as shown in these photos. Dr. Tony Rustio from Brazil (trained in SMP by me) repaired this man with Scalp […]
There are a number of ways to fix this problem. Since I was the first doctor to perform large sessions of small grafts, I must have fixed hundreds of such patients. The first way to address this is to remove the pluggy grafts provided that there are not too many of them. If they take up the […]
This patient had two previous hair transplants at another clinic and did not achieve his goal. Not only were the results of these transplants thin and see-through but the leading edge of the hairline had two and three hair unit grafts that made it look “pluggy” and abnormal. The hair behind the leading edge of […]
We continue to see patients who had SMP done elsewhere and found that they continue to be unhappy with the results. The work we have seen reflects an inadequate investment of time on the part of the people doing the process. The patients reported that they had it done over a two day period for […]
The normal hair cycle is somewhere between 2-4 years, so if your hair can recover, it might take that long to see it in its next hair cycle. Also, it is possible that the damage produced by picking has irreparably damaged these hair follicles (traction alopecia), so what you are seeing are miniaturized hair as […]
Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad I was able to help. With respect to the donor scar, there are scar revision surgeries and even Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) to disguise the scar. I don’t know that you’ll be able to completely eliminate the scarring, but masking it or revising it would possibly be […]
To many people that aren’t familiar with the advances made in hair restoration, “hair plugs” are still the norm. There’s nothing pluggy looking about today’s hair transplant procedures, but those bulky hair plugs of yesteryear were easy to point out and looked incredibly unnatural. I saw a patient that had an unusual placement of these […]
This is a Norwood 6 patient who had a hair transplant done at a clinic in Europe in the 1990s with the old pluggy technique. He wanted to shave his head, but the old hair transplant donor scar and the visible plugs were a problem for him. This patient chose a combination of (1) SMP […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story — Doctors make breakthrough in repairing genetic defects This is fascinating… and while not directly about hair loss, imagine the possibilities for genome editing in the future.
At New Hair Institute (NHI), we perform corrective surgeries for patients who have had bad hair transplants (including the old doll hair looking “plugs”). You can see the before and after results of our repairs here. We’ve also created a complete step-by-step of one patient’s journey to fix his ugly hair plugs — see Dean’s […]
