To Ensure No Second Failure
Revision Hair Transplant

Hair transplant method for a
more perfect hairline

High-Difficulty Revision Hair Transplant

  • 1

    Limited number of possible surgeries
    Limited Number of Possible Surgeries

    The number of hair follicles available for extraction varies by individual. Since hair transplantation utilizes resources from the occipital area, the number of possible revision surgeries is also limited.

  • 2

    Skin deformation in the occipital area
    Skin Deformation in the Occipital Area

    The tissue in the occipital area is damaged due to extraction during the primary surgery. Deformed skin and scarring reduce scalp elasticity and compromise blood supply, inevitably lowering the graft survival rate.

    Advanced technique required
    Advanced Technique Required

    Advanced techniques are required to control the direction, angle, and depth of the implanted hair to ensure no damage occurs to the remaining transplanted hair and existing hair.

  • 4

    Removal of previously transplanted hair
    Removal of Previously Transplanted Hair

    If hair from the primary surgery was wrongly implanted in areas that need proper filling, the previously transplanted hair may be entirely removed before performing a new hair transplant.

Who Needs
Revision Surgery?

  • If density is insufficient due to engraftment failure

  • If the design is unnatural and does not suit the face shape

  • If the placement of grafts is wrong,
    looking thick like doll hair

  • If the forehead and face are still wide due to graft count estimation failure

Revision Surgery Cases

  • CASE 01

    Insufficient Density due to Engraftment Failure

    Sparse hair growth is a typical example requiring revision surgery.

    Insufficient density due to engraftment failure
    • If follicles were damaged during the separation process

    • If grafts were implanted too deeply

    • If excessive force was used during implantation

    If not performed by skilled follicle separators and medical staff, grafts may not survive properly, causing hair to grow sparsely and reducing density.

  • CASE 02

    Unnatural Design

    A design that does not fit the face shape is aesthetically unsatisfactory.

    Unnatural design
    • Applying a rounded, feminine design to a male

    • Applying a straight, masculine design to a female

    • Designing without considering face shape and proportions

    Artificial designs that do not consider gender or individual characteristics do not provide aesthetic satisfaction, leading to consideration of revision surgery.

  • CASE 03

    Incorrect Graft Placement

    Without selective placement of follicles, the result becomes unnatural.

    Incorrect graft placement
    • Planting multi-hair follicles at the front of the hairline

    • Planting single-hair follicles in thinning areas that need volume

    Selective placement of appropriate follicles is essential to volumize empty areas and create a natural hairline.

  • CASE 04

    Still Wide Forehead and Face

    Failure in graft count estimation does not improve the area of concern.   

    Still wide forehead and face
    • Wanting to lower the line further for a narrower forehead

    • Wanting to reduce the side profile by transplanting sideburns and temples

    If the wide forehead and facial area are still a concern due to incorrect graft count estimation, additional transplantation becomes necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and answers regarding revision hair transplant.
We recommend consulting with an expert for more detailed information.

  • q.

    How many times can revision surgery be done?

    a.

    Theoretically, revision is possible if there are sufficient donor follicles in the occipital area, but feasibility is decided after an accurate diagnosis of the current scalp and hair condition.

  • q.

    Which method is better for revision: Incision (FUT) or Non-incision (FUE)?

    a.

    One method cannot be said to be strictly better. It is desirable to decide after an accurate diagnosis with a hair transplant specialist.

  • q.

    I had FUT (incision) for the first surgery; is revision difficult?

    a.

    You might think revision is difficult due to the scar on the back of the head from the incision. However, if the scalp in the occipital area is healthy enough, it is possible, so we recommend getting a consultation.

  • q.

    When is revision surgery possible?

    a.

    Since it takes 1 year to see the final results of a hair transplant, revision surgery is possible after 1 year, once the final outcome of the primary surgery has been confirmed.

MOMO promises a new life beyond hair loss.

  • 1:1 Attending Physician Care

    Consultation, Design, and Surgery

    From start to finish, your attending physician
    personally manages the entire process from consultation to post-surgery.

  • Systematic Post-Surgery Management

    Post-Surgery Care

    A dedicated manager provides 1:1 supervision
    for your recovery. We offer discounts on scalp care products and programs for surgical patients, and provide an after-care kit to all patients so they can continue care at home immediately after surgery, ensuring customized management based on progress.

  • High Engraftment Rate

    Cytokine Follicle Storage

    Harvested hair follicles must be stored in a low-temperature environment of 2-8°C. Until transplantation, we store them in a cytokine solution rather than saline to maintain healthy follicles and ensure safe storage until the procedure.

  • Self-Developed Implanter

    In-house Development

    MOMO's medical team, backed by experience with vast amounts of patient data, participated in the research.

    We developed needles in 17 different thicknesses to easily adjust the direction, density, and angle of hair, allowing for transplantation tailored to each individual's hair thickness.

  • Free Hair Loss Medication Prescription

    For MOMO Surgical Patients

    For MOMO surgical patients,
    we provide free lifetime prescriptions for hair loss medication to ensure continued management even after surgery.

  • Density Guarantee Hospital

    Responsibility Guarantee Certificate Provided

    To ensure satisfying results after hair transplant surgery, we take responsibility for and guarantee the engraftment of the transplanted hair. If the patient is dissatisfied with the engraftment rate or transplant density compared to pre-surgery, we provide free retouching surgery.
