    Yes, it's possible to do hair transplants on previously grafted tissues. However, it depends very much on the amount of scar tissue and blood supply to the area. The best way to determine your eligibility for this type of "surgery" (I say surgery because they will have to transplant the hair follicles) is to get in contact with a doctor who performs these types of procedures and have them assess the area.
