Question: I'm wondering if it's possible to reverse a hair transplant and if it can look natural, or will the scars look obviously like a reversed hair transplant? I recently had a hair transplant, and I realize there will always be scarring, though the scalp sites look pretty minimal right now. One doctor told me that if I allowed the baldness to progress then used electrolysis to kill the transplanted hair that this would kill the follicle and the transplanted hair would heal over with skin bumps.

Answer: A hair transplant can be reversed in a variety of ways, including the surgical extraction of each individual graft, laser hair removal, and wide excision of a group of grafts. Once the grafts are removed, I often recommend laser smoothing of the skin. This will often get rid of the bumps and provide the best results. Feel free to send me photos, and I will let you know what I think once I've reviewed them.
