We Fix Bad Hair Transplants
A hair transplant is the permanent solution to hair loss. When done right, that means a fuller head of hair and natural-looking results.
However, when done wrong, that permanent solution can turn into a permanent bad hair day.
Bosley’s award-winning surgeons can improve unnatural-looking results from a bad hair transplant performed by a different clinic and help you get your real hair back.
How Bosley Repairs Bad Hair Transplants
Bosley, The World’s Most Experienced Hair Restoration Expert®, is home to the leading hair transplant surgeons in the world. They use industry-leading technology to fix bad hair transplants, whether done overseas, years ago, or at other clinics.
Provided enough donor hair remains for an additional hair transplant, our doctors can help fill in uneven areas, adjust hairline design, and maximize density in poor, patchy hair transplants. They may also remove misplaced grafts and/or utilize non-surgical hair transplant correction solutions such as scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to camouflage scars and replicate the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
Many, but not all, poor hair transplants can be fixed. If you’re dissatisfied with the results from a previous hair transplant, schedule a free second opinion with a Bosley hair restoration expert for a scalp and hair analysis and personalized treatment plan.
“A high-quality hair transplant is as much of an art as it is a science. It requires striking a balance between maintaining a natural-looking hairline, ensuring that the donor area remains full and healthy, and achieving maximum density in thinning areas. There’s truly no substitute for the skill and experience of a highly trained hair transplant physician – Bosley is here to help you achieve the best results possible and get your real hair back.”

Why Botched Overseas Hair Transplants are So Common
Overseas hair transplant procedures may be performed by non-doctors with little-to-no training. Plus, in an effort to provide an attractively high number of grafts, many clinics split hair follicles, overcrowd hairlines, and overharvest follicles from the back of the head, yielding unnatural looking results and in some cases, medical complications.
We Fix Poor Hair Transplants Done In Turkey & Other Areas Overseas
While it’s always best to schedule a free consultation and come to Bosley first to achieve the best hair restoration outcome, our industry-leading surgeons are up to the task of fixing hair transplants gone wrong to the best of their ability. We’ve helped many patients achieve a more natural look with a second hair transplant or non-surgical hair restoration solutions. The best approach depends on what went wrong during the previous hair transplant and how much donor hair remains.
Types of Botched Hair Transplants
Overharvesting
One area of concern is that poorly trained hair transplant technicians overharvest hair follicle grafts – meaning they remove and transplant too many hair follicles, which can cause thin, uneven, patchy hair in places that used to be full.
Unnatural-Looking Hairlines
While Bosley surgeons focus on providing a natural-looking, virtually undetectable, age-appropriate hairline, many overseas clinics provide hairlines that are overcrowded or so low that they don’t look natural.
Uneven Graft Placement
Transplanted follicles may follow an uneven, unnatural-looking pattern. We recently fixed a man’s botched hair transplant. He went to Turkey and was horrified by the results, even immediately following the procedure. Not only did his technicians fail to focus on the most-thinning areas, two different technicians produced visibly different results on different areas of the head – and in this case, you could tell. It yielded totally mismatched graft placement on the right and left side.

Hair Plugs
Hair plugs are an outdated hair transplant method that involves removing round “plugs” of skin containing multiple hair follicles, then implanting them into balding or thinning zones. This method was most prominent in the 70s and 80s. What used to be a revolutionary hair transplant method a few decades ago qualifies as a bad hair transplant today – here’s a former hair plug patient whose hair we fixed:

Not always. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, semipermanent solution that can replicate the look of thicker, fuller hair. It can help improve the appearance of low-density or patchy areas left behind by a poor hair transplant.
