Repairing Plugs From 25 Years Ago

I have 25 yr old plugs in frontal and crown area. Interested in repair work. Can repair work be done unilaterally so one side can be used to cover (comb over) the treated side, wait 6-12 months, then do the other side using the first treated side as a comb over to cover the second treated side? Do not want to walk around with scabs/scars and don’t want to wear hairpiece to conceal surgery while healing. Second question: How do I request the surgeon at NHI who has done the most repair work and who is the most talented at doing repair work. I’m not interested in any special pricing. Thank you.

I am one of the most experienced surgeons for hair work, along with Dr. Robert Bernstein in New York. Read our articles on the NHI website and make an appointment to work out the details of what you need to do, along a timeline that makes sense to you. My offices are in Los Angeles and San Jose, and are reachable by phone at 800-NEW-HAIR. Some good places to start for repair information:

• The Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration Part I – General Aspects of Repair and Basic Repair Strategies
• The Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration Part II – The Tactics of Repair
• Dean’s Story – Step by step photos of a repair procedure
