Using Body Hair With Scalp Hair for Transplanting?
Hi
I have read about Body Hair Transplants and I do see that it is not recommended. I was wondering though, would it be a feasible thing to have it used in conjunction with scalp transplants, kind of a topping it up for density?
As you’re familiar with my issues with body hair transplants (BHT) due to differences in growth cycle, length, and character, I won’t get into it again here. For those unfamiliar with my stance, you can read about it here, here, and here.
It is technically possible to do what you’re asking, but whether it adds real value is another story. For the patient who had a depleted donor supply in their scalp from many hair transplant procedures, body hair may have value.
First, you need to be evaluated by a GOOD doctor who cares about you and your results, not just the money he would make. I realize finding a “good” doctor is easier said than done, but do your due diligence. Research this procedure and the surgeons who perform it to form a short list of doctors you want to meet with to hopefully find someone you trust with the patient results you’re looking for. Then get an assessment of your need, and your donor supply will be matched to your goals by that doctor. Only after you have a good education on the matter, should you make decisions like what you are asking me here.
You might detect that I am neutral on the value of body hair transplants when mixed with donor hair, but I would be open to do them if I felt that it had value to you and you were well informed.
