Dr. McAndrews’ Method for Corrective Hair Transplant

Corrective hair transplant surgery requires more than technical skill, it demands precision, artistry, and a deep understanding of what went wrong in a previous procedure. Dr. Paul J. McAndrews brings decades of expertise and a trusted reputation for restoring natural, undetectable results in patients who’ve had disappointing transplant experiences elsewhere.

Step 1: Consultation and Honest Assessment

Your corrective journey begins with a thorough, compassionate consultation. Dr. McAndrews will evaluate the outcomes of your prior procedure, review existing scarring, graft placement, and donor hair availability. He listens carefully to your concerns and goals, then develops a realistic, personalized plan for improvement.

Step 2: Repair Strategy and Donor Management

Corrective surgery often requires careful planning to work around depleted donor areas or visible scarring. Dr. McAndrews expertly manages your remaining donor hair using advanced techniques like strategic FUT strip harvesting or selective graft extraction (FUE), always with minimal trauma and long-term sustainability in mind.

Step 3: Revision of Hairline and Recipient Zone

Many prior transplants suffer from harsh, unnatural hairlines. Dr. McAndrews redesigns your hairline with artistic precision, adjusting angle, density, and flow to achieve a soft, natural look that suits your facial structure and age. This step is key to reversing an artificial appearance.

Step 4: Graft Removal, Redistribution, and Placement

In some cases, poorly placed grafts must be removed or redistributed. Dr. McAndrews performs this delicate work under magnification, then meticulously places new grafts by hand into carefully prepared recipient sites. His method ensures optimal survival and natural growth patterns.

Step 5: Recovery and Renewed Confidence

You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions and personalized care throughout your recovery. Shedding is expected, but regrowth begins within months, with final results typically visible between nine to twelve months. Most importantly, your new look will feel natural, and you’ll feel like yourself again.

TESTIMONIALS

I’ve seen thousands of hair transplants over the past 20 years and the bottom line is there’s no one – and I mean no one – that does it like Dr. Paul McAndrews. He has taken hair transplants to a different level with his meticulous approach making them completely undetectable.

– Jonathan Anton, Celebrity Stylist, Star of “Blow Out”, and founder of Jonathan Product, LLC

Dr. Paul McAndrews is by far one of the most skilled and ethical hair restoration surgeons in the world. His dedication to his patients is second to none, and his results are truly state of the art. I only wish that other surgeons would strive to meet the bar that Dr. McAndrews has set.

– Spencer Kobren- Founder, American Hair Loss Association; Founder/Director, International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons; Host of the Nationally Syndicated Radio Program “The Bald Truth”

After the first procedure, I went to a cocktail party wearing a hat, and after the second one, I went to my office to finish the workday. It’s amazing the difference…My friends and family say I look 10 years younger now. I look and feel like a different person…. like the man in the mirror before my hair transplants wasn’t even me….Now I can wear my hair the way I want to. Having a positive outlook on my appearance helps me deliver in my business.

– J. N. – Producer (male)

When my friends and family saw me, they were also amazed at the results. They could not believe the difference, inside and out. And every time I get my hair cut, my hairdresser remarks about the quality of the work Dr. McAndrews did. She can’t find any scars and can’t believe how natural it looks!

Pluggy or uneven hairlines
Visible or widened scars
Overharvested donor areas (especially from FUE)
Grafts growing in the wrong direction
Unnatural density or distribution

How soon after a bad transplant can I seek correction?

It’s usually best to wait at least 9–12 months after your last transplant to allow full healing and regrowth. However, you can schedule a consultation anytime to plan your next steps.

Can you fix a bad FUE transplant?

Dr. McAndrews can also help you with a bad FUT procedure and repair FUT scars.

Will I need multiple corrective procedures?

It depends on the severity of the previous surgery and your current donor hair availability. Many patients achieve their goals with a single procedure, while others may require staged treatments for optimal results.

Can scar tissue from a previous surgery be improved?

Yes. Dr. McAndrews can revise or camouflage scars using techniques like trichophytic closure or by grafting into the scar itself. Results vary depending on the type and size of the scar.
