Corrective Surgery

The first hair transplantation surgery was performed in 1952, as large “punch grafts” were moved from the hair-bearing parts of scalp to thinning frontal areas. Over time, such large grafts can become more noticeable as surrounding hairs are lost. With the advent of follicular unit ‘micrografts” in 1988, Dr. Bobby Limmer created a means of hair restoration that could finally mimic nature. Hairs were transplanted as they occur in natural groupings of 1-4 hair follicles. Most hair transplant surgeons have adopted this technique as the current standard of care. However, large, pluggy grafts still exist among patients who underwent transplantation previously. Such patients can benefit from corrective surgery to excise these grafts, divide them into smaller groupings, and replace them in a more natural distribution. Patients may also undergo resurfacing procedures to improve cobblestoning or other texture irregularities. We also offer laser hair removal for patients who would like to remove unwanted hairs completely.
