Usually, one hair transplant session is enough for some patients. But in cases where more aesthetic correction is required, a second hair transplant may be required next year.
The second hair transplant, also known as Revision Hair Transplant in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah, is performed no earlier than 6-12 months after the previous procedure. It is recommended to hide bald patches, add thickness, or, in some cases, correct problems caused by failed hair transplants and achieve a more natural and full look.
Why Undergo Revision Hair Transplant?
Below are the reasons why patients plan a second hair transplant.
- Hide visible scars after FUT surgery.
- Improve the results of the first hair transplantation
- Cope with ongoing hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia.
- Increase the thickness of the scalp.
- Lack of sufficient results due to neglected postoperative care.

What is the Process?
The Revision Hair Transplant in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah starts with the removal of a portion of the hair follicles transplanted during the first operation. The follicles are placed carefully along with the donor follicles in the bald area. Doctors take great care when transplanting follicles in a way that gives the most natural results. The whole operation is carried out taking into account the results that patients expect.
Please remember that in your case the procedure may differ depending on the type of graft you have operated on for the first time.
How soon Revision Hair Transplant could be Done?
It is imperative that enough time has elapsed for the surgical sites to heal completely and that you are ready for the next procedure. Patients should wait at least 6 months before planning a second hair transplant (revision hair transplant). However, this period may be longer depending on the health of the patient. It will be helpful if you seek direct advice from our surgeons on the ideal tear assessment for another hair transplant session.
