I am familiar with the body transplants that are being done. I am softening my position on them in very special situations. I met a man yesterday who does not have enough donor hair for the crown, but has gorilla hair on his back. He is aware of the limitation in telogen hairs and nevertheless […]

This is the first time I have ever been asked that question. Yes, it could be done… but I am not sure it would be worth it.
It may work, but as the body hair is not as thick as regular scalp hair, the coverage per hair shaft will be less than that of scalp hair. Do you have enough hair for FUE from the scalp which may be better? A stronger hair can be found in the pubic and beard areas […]
I would imagine that body hair transplantation (BHT) would work, but why not use scalp hair? I would match the hair and see what is best.
I saw a patient earlier this week who had a well known surgeon place hundreds of body hair grafts into a bald area of his scalp about two years ago. This surgeon is one who promotes his body hair transplant procedures quite heavily, particularly on various websites and hair loss forums. No, I won’t name […]
In theory, you can move hairs from the scalp or the back and transplant it to any part of your body. In my opinion, body hair transplantation is not as effective as scalp hair transplant, because the life cycle or the growth phase of body hair is very different from scalp hair. Think about it […]
Full article here — Man goes for world record leg hair One can infer this is why body hair transplantation to the scalp is so difficult. Body hair does not grow like scalp hair and the length is limited. Some doctors claim that when body hair is transplanted to the scalp, there are scalp influences […]
I believe Dr. Robert True in New York does body hair transplants (BHT). I am generally not an advocate of BHT (see I Want Body Hair Transplants for my reasoning).
Body hair transplantation is still considered experimental in my opinion. Furthermore, body hair does not have the same growth cycle as scalp hair and most of the body hair is dormant (not growing). Thus, the success or growth of a body hair transplant is highly variable and rarely will more than 50% of the body […]
I have written about body hair transplants extensively in this blog (search for body hair transplants). Be very careful with body hair transplants; the failure rate is very high. I would be concerned that if your hair is see-through on the sides and back of your head (I assume that is what you mean by […]
I am having difficulty with the first picture on the referenced site. This is not a hair transplant, but someone with a thick, natural head of hair. From a legal point of view, the inference that this representation of a transplant is fraudulent and violates consumer laws in most states. It may have just been […]
Yes, I have actually used beard hair from a face lift and from a brow lift to transplant into the crown. I have also used pubic hair to create beard hair. It works nicely.
It is good that you started using Propecia for your thinning crown hair. Although you don’t think you had improvement with medications, I think it is best for you to continue the Propecia, for you never know how your crown would look if you were not taking the medication. Propecia should be the first line […]
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) produces very small scars in the donor area, usually less than 1mm (there are 25mm to an inch). The only way most people could see these scars is a complete shave of the head (not a short hair cut, which probably would not show any of these scars). In the recipient […]
Arm hair will grow like arm hair so you are correct that for delicate eyebrows in a coarse haired person, head hair may be too thick and arm hair in theory might be better. Now with that said, the problem with arm hair is that the telogen (sleep) cycle for the hair is longer than […]
