Neck Hair and DHT

Dr. Rassman,
I was told by my hair transplant surgeon that FUE can be performed effectively from extracting the hairs near my neck since he finds it unusually dense compared to other areas on my scalp.Are you in agreement of this=based on the fact that these hairs can in fact be effected by DHT?

In other words if the hairs are in fact efected by DHT why would I go through this expense/discomfort if they will eventually fall out? please advise

Neck hair is not scalp hair and as such it is NOT considered permanent hair. I have seen plenty of patients who had lost their neck hair as they age. If you transplant neck hair it may NOT be permanent. In your particular case, you mention hairs “near” your neck — and I simply don’t know precisely the area you’re talking about.
