How many hair transplants can a person have?

In theory, the number of hair transplant procedures you can have is unlimited. In practice, however, most people will not be eligible for this many hair transplants and they will not need to. The vast majority of patients (96.8%) achieve their desired look after only one or two procedures. Some unfortunate patients do not see results after one or two hair transplants. In this article, we’ll look at how many hair transplants you can have, why transplants fail, and how you can reduce the need for multiple hair transplants.

Reasons why you might need more than one hair transplant

From the patient’s donor area to increase hair density in troubled areas. Donor grafts available and the size of the recipient area limit the scope of a hair transplant procedure. Even though a single hair transplant is usually sufficient to achieve the desired look. Some patients may require a second hair transplant. One of the main reasons why patients, needs to undergo in 2 or 3 sessions of DHI or FUE techniques is to reach the maximum coverage with their available.

Multiple hair transplant surgeries reasons:

1- More density

Multiple hair transplant procedures may be beneficial if you want to increase your hair density. Many people long for the days when their hair was thick and beautiful. This goal, however, may not be achievable in a single hair transplant procedure. It is possible to get a second hair transplant for density if there are enough donor grafts available for the transplant.

2. Hair loss progresses

The progression of male pattern hair loss on existing hair is another reason for multiple hair transplant procedures. Even if the transplanted hair from the first hair transplant remains in place, you may still experience hair loss and baldness on the untouched areas. This is why men with male pattern baldness may consider a second hair transplant in the future.

3. Ineffective operation

After a failed hair transplant, some patients may require multiple hair transplants. Scars from previous transplants and bald spots can be corrected with a subsequent hair transplant surgery.

4. Male Pattern Hair Loss

Male pattern hair loss is caused by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (MPHL). It attacks follicles that are predisposed to be vulnerable to this hormone, which are frequently located on the top of the scalp, causing eventually, hair loss. Hair on the rest of the scalp, such as the back and sides of the head, is usually resistant to this hormone. As a result, donor grafts are extracted from the hair on the back and sides of the scalp during FUE hair transplant surgery. They are DHT resistant even when implanted in another part of the scalp.

Celebrities that underwent more than 1 hair transplant surgery

Even well-known celebrity hair transplants do not always work the first time. Wayne Rooney’s hair has shrunk significantly since his first hair transplant. Wayne Rooney, Elton John and Jonathan Joseph, all had two confirmed hair transplants. James Nesbitt is said to have had six procedures to achieve his current appearance. Elon Musk is also said to have had numerous hair transplants. Spencer Stevenson, a hair transplant veteran, has had more than ten procedures to make his hair look thick, full, and natural.

Conclusions

Hair Transplants surgery has improved in time in both technology and efficiency. With less invasive action, the results are better by applying 2-3 session in order to receive the max coverage in the recipient area. Any patient who is eligible through their medical diagnoses for one session, they may continue with 2 and 3 session in different timeframes, according to the technique used .
