Can Hair Transplant Surgery Fail?

Hair transplantation is one of the ways to treat baldness. And most people think it's a more effective and less prone to failure method than taking medication.

However, some of them also confided that they have had the experience of failed hair transplant surgery? !

Ado! Let's get to know the so-called hair transplant surgery first.

What is hair transplant surgery?

First of all, let's take a look at autologous hair transplant surgery.

Hair transplantation is a treatment in which autologous hair follicles are transplanted into the bald areas of the scalp. You can perform local treatment according to the part you want to transplant your hair, and you can also adjust the amount of hair growth in the part of the hair transplant.

Once the transplanted hair follicles grow normally on the scalp, there is no need to maintain the scalp deliberately, and it will not be easily affected by male hormones to cause baldness. It is a semi-permanent treatment method for preventing baldness.

Regarding hair transplantation to treat baldness, some people also choose to use artificial hair. However, using autologous hair for transplantation is less likely to cause rejection than artificial hair, and the effect of hair transplantation is more natural.

However, if you want to use autologous hair transplantation, there are also prerequisites.

People with total baldness who have undergone hair transplant surgery will have difficulty collecting hair follicles and cannot be transplanted. Also, the number of plants that can be transplanted is limited.

In addition, the high cost, it takes half a year to feel the effect, and it is easy to leave hair transplant marks, etc., are also disadvantages of hair transplant surgery.

Summary of failed hair transplant surgery cases

Let's take a look at the failure cases of hair transplant surgery.

But the premise is that everyone's identification of hair transplant failure is different. Some people even think that as long as the effect is different from what they expected, the hair transplant is a failure.

This time, through the hair transplant failure cases provided by various hair transplant centers, two types of surgical failures have been sorted out. For details, please refer to the following introduction:

• Hair follicles do not survive
• Visible scars after hair transplant

Among the symptoms that may occur after surgery, there are also some conditions that are easily mistaken for surgery failure. In this regard, a detailed explanation is also provided below.

Hair follicles do not survive

Hair transplantation is a method of treating baldness by collecting autologous hair follicles for transplantation. Therefore, the survival rate of hair follicles is much higher than that of artificial hair.

However, this does not mean that all the transplanted hair follicles will survive and grow smoothly. Depending on the individual's constitution, there have also been rare cases where only 10% of the hair follicles survived successfully.

Visible scars after hair transplant

Some people have visible scars after a hair transplant. The scars left will also be larger or smaller depending on the physique of the recipient.

It is said that people with a scarring constitution will be more likely to have postoperative scars. In addition, if the wound after the operation is infected with bacteria, the possibility of scarring will increase when the wound deteriorates.

[Other Cases] It is easy to mistakenly believe that the hair transplant has failed

Some people will have postoperative symptoms after hair transplantation that should be mistaken for hair transplantation failure, that is, "shock hair loss" after hair transplantation.

The so-called shock hair loss refers to the temporary loss of hair at the site of surgery when the scalp is damaged by surgery. And it does not refer to the scalp where the hair is transplanted, and sometimes the site where the hair follicles are collected may also be caused.

The severity of shock hair loss also varies from person to person, some people can't see it at all, and some people are so serious that 90% of their hair is lost.

But importantly, these symptoms are temporary. Therefore, it cannot be classified as a failed hair transplant surgery. Also, most of the shock hair loss will gradually recover after 2 to 3 months, so don't worry too much.
