Can I Use Body Hair to Transplant Into My Temple Peaks?
Would using body hair be ideal to construct the temple peaks ? I had a hair transplant done, and my donor hair count was very low. So the doctor built a hair line which was 8 cm long. I want to go for a second session, and in that session I want do something about my broad forehead. The length needs to decrease both horizontally and vertically. Do you think it okay to use body hair only for the temple peaks. I understand the growth of the body hair differs, but it is ideal to use to decrease the horizontal length of my forehead ? I am also looking to decrease the hair line by a centimeter vertically.
Scalp hair is the best source for transplanting to the temple area. It should be noted that the temple area is a very difficult area for hair transplant doctors to get “right”. It is an artistic and technical skill to make temple transplants look natural, as the surgeon must fully understand the direction of the hair that is placed there. Hair transplantation in general is an artistic and technical skill, but the temple area takes even more attention to detail, as I have seen many failed and marginal attempts at creating them.
I personally do not endorse using body hair for restoring the temples, especially since it is such a delicate area to get right. The only rare exception may be if you have very kinky/curly scalp hair and your body hair can match the kinky texture, AND you do not have sufficient scalp hair to accomplish your goals. Straight hair can stand out and will be less forgiving.
