What is Hair Transplant Corrective Surgery?
With digital and social media marketing reaching its zenith, the number of hair transplant clinics is surging in popularity. Every year, countless patients flock to these clinics in search of low-cost surgery.
However, many of these establishments operate without proper licences and are often run by salespeople rather than qualified surgeons. In medical circles, such establishments are known as black-market hair transplant clinics. According to a recent study by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), 6% of repair cases in 2022 were related to prior black-market hair transplants.
Notable cosmetic issues arising from subpar hair restoration procedures include:
- Oversized or “plugged” grafts
- Abnormally shaped hairlines
- Mispositioned hair
- Ill-conceived attempts to cover certain areas
- Scarring in the donor or recipient area
- Depleted or exhausted donor pool
Undergoing surgery in the black market often led patients to encounter the aforementioned issues, significantly impacting their self-esteem and, on occasion, plunging them into depression.
Moreover, performing corrective hair transplant surgery is challenging due to reduced donor areas, incorrect hairline design, and scarring from previous hair transplants. Additionally, the patient may experience severe emotional distress.
Rectifying and reconstructing what has already been marred demands exceptional skill and expertise. Addressing the donor pool, creating a new look, and reducing scarring are all essential aspects of this process.
At times, hair transplant procedures may not yield the anticipated results due to procedural mishaps or unsatisfactory surgical techniques.
