Using Arm or Armpit Hair As Donor?
I have an unusual hair replacement question. I suffered from alopecia and my entire hairline fell out along with some of the fron of my browline. I have been using organic products with great success and finally after a year, My hair line is returning, but the space between my brows has not filled in and now my features are greatly imbalalnced. i was wondering if it is possible to have a browline restoration procedure on a very small area, about 5/8inch on front of right brow and 1/4 or 2/8inch on left brow? As technology has advanced so much with the advent of hair restoration, I think this would be great for me, but would it be very expensive as it is such a small area of hair to be replaced/enhanced? ANd would armhair or armpit hair be eligible as donor hair as it more closely resembles the bushy brow area hair. I am AA by the way.
The technology is available to transplant hair from one part of the body to another. However, the catch is that the hair transplanted from one part of the body, such as your armpit, will retain the same characteristics from the donor site (in this case being the armpit area). So hair moved to your eyebrows will still look like armpit hair. I generally like to use scalp hair as the donor because it most often reflects normal eyebrows. Bushy eyebrows are easy to create if needed, the art is in making it fine and less bushy from any donor site.
