Do You Have a Failed Hair Transplant?
Hair transplants can fail, especially when performed by inexperienced surgeons or clinics with poor aftercare. A failed transplant often results in unnatural, incomplete, or unsatisfactory outcomes.
Common signs include uneven hairlines from poorly placed grafts, sparse or patchy growth due to inadequate density, and incorrect graft angles causing unnatural hair direction. Visible scarring, often from outdated methods like strip harvesting, further impacts the aesthetic, highlighting the need for corrective procedures.
FAQ’s
Yes, British Hair Clinic can correct a failed hair transplant with corrective hair surgery. We use advanced FUE techniques to remove grafts and redistribute them, making sure the hairline looks natural. We also cover scars and create a fuller appearance.
Hair transplants can fail due to several factors, including inexperienced surgeons, outdated techniques, unnatural hairline design, poor graft placement or complications such as excessive scarring. Many patients also experience issues after having transplants abroad, where aftercare standards may differ.
The length of corrective hair surgery depends on the extent of the damage and the number of grafts that need to be corrected. Typically, the procedure lasts several hours and may require multiple sessions for more complex cases. Your surgeon will discuss the expected timeline during your consultation.
Corrective surgery uses advanced techniques, such as FUE, that minimise scarring. If you have scars from previous procedures, we can often camouflage them using new grafts, making them less visible.
Initial healing takes a few weeks, but noticeable improvements in hair growth typically start after 3-6 months. Full results, including denser, natural-looking hair, will usually be visible around 9-12 months after the procedure.

What is FUE Hair Transplant Method?
Corrective hair surgery provides tailored solutions to fix failed transplants and restore a natural, aesthetically pleasing look.
One approach is graft removal and redistribution, where poorly placed grafts from the original surgery are carefully removed using FUE, re-dissected, and re-implanted to create a more natural appearance.
Another key technique is hairline redesign, which softens and adjusts the hairline to achieve a balanced look that complements your facial features.
For areas with sparse or uneven growth, density improvement involves implanting additional grafts to enhance thickness and create even coverage.
To address visible scarring, scar camouflage uses advanced FUE techniques to transplant hair into scar tissue, blending it seamlessly with surrounding hair.
By combining these methods, corrective hair surgery ensures natural, effective results that restore both your appearance and confidence.
