Revision Hair Transplant in Seoul | MONARA Dermatology Clinic, Apgujeong

Medically reviewed by Dr. Kim Dae-woo, Medical Director, MONARA Dermatology Clinic

A revision starts with what is already in the scalp: how the previous grafts were angled, how much donor area is left, and what scarring the first operation created. The most frequent complaints are a hairline set too straight or too low, grafts placed at the wrong angle, and density that ran out halfway back. Each of those is a different problem, and some need existing grafts removed or redirected rather than simply adding more.

Protocol

How it is performed here

What was done before is established firstStrip or FUE, how much donor was used, how the grafts sit. Without that, a revision plan is guesswork.
Remaining donor supply is counted honestlyA second operation draws on what the first one left. That figure sets the ceiling on what can be corrected.
Direction corrected, not just coveredAdding grafts around badly angled ones does not hide them. Where the angle is the problem, the angle is what gets addressed.

Questions

Revision Hair Transplant FAQ

How long after the first operation can I have a revision?

The first result should be mature — around a year — before a revision is planned, so that what is actually missing can be seen rather than estimated.

Can a hairline that was set too low be raised?

Grafts in the wrong position can be removed and re-placed, and micropigmentation can soften the transition. What is achievable depends on how many are involved.

This page describes Revision Hair Transplant as performed at MONARA Dermatology Clinic. It is general information and not a substitute for a medical consultation. Suitability, graft count and expected outcome are determined individually after examination. Any surgical procedure carries risk, and outcomes differ between individuals depending on donor supply, scalp condition and aftercare.
