Methods of Revision Surgery

The method used at Maxwell for revision surgery is called the ‘punch and place’ method. This technique involves using an FUE punch to extract previously placed grafts and then replacing them with new grafts harvested from the donor area. Due to the small size of the residual holes, the doctor is able to remove a large amount of grafts without any noticeable scarring. The healing time of the grafted hair is usually quite rapid.
