I've noticed several transplant surgeons talk about how they discovered body hair to scalp transplant results changes the nature of the hair implanted on the head. So what should've been short hairs since it came from the body suddenly mimics the surrounding scalp hairs and winds up growing long too. This is a huge relief knowing that it is possible to get hair uniformity with body to scalp transplantations.
You are correct. It has been observed that body hair can change their length with time. But this is not guaranteed, and it may take a very long time... That is the reason why I, personally, like to only use body hair when there is no other option.
If you've already had your frontal hairline done but still have a large area on the crown that's bald and don't have enough donor area available on the scalp, would it be possible to extract a large amount of body hair grafts if their available and use them as donor grafts?
Thank you for your question. Donor hairs may be harvested from the chest, back, and/or beard. A consultation is needed to better evaluate your particular situation. I will be happy to see you either in the office or via virtual consultation.
I don't have a lot of chest or back hair, but I have a TON of leg hair. It's long too, definitely over an inch long and closer to 2 inches. There is an absolute ton of it, and you can practically comb my legs. If I could move 1/4 of that hair to the crown of my head, I would have a full head of hair! I've pretty much exhausted my donor area in my scalp, so it feels like leg hair would be the only option from here on out...
I have very thick, black and dense body hair(from chest to public area). as thick as public hair. If i transplant to my head will it grow long or it will have limited lengh. And what is survival chance? Can survival chance tested before transplant?
Hello Doctor, What about hair from the Shoulders and upper back, I have thick hair in these areas and they grow up to the length of 5CM and last for long time 8-12 months and will stay there unless I do waxxing. I had FUE hair transplant b4 in Turkey and they exhausted my head donor areas in the sides, were they said they extracted 5500 Grafts but later on after TWO years the results were only 3000 Gravt succeeded ( according to the Doctor) and the results were some how accepted but below the original plan. Can we use shoulder and upper back areas hair?

How about hair on the back of the neck, shoulders and upper back? I have tons of these hairs that I would love to be "moved" to the top of my head.
Yes, I have similar situation, did anybody answer your question? Please to tell me what you have got from anybody?

Can use use back hair if it’s thick?
is the hair from the beard going to match the hair on the top of the head?
Yes. Beard hair is normally a little coarser than scalp hair, but it looks good when transplanted correctly.
I have had 6600 grafts taken from my donor area (back of the head ) would it be possible to use chest hair and beard hair to transplant it there ?
Good question, I have also thought about this and done some research. It is called fit farming but there is not much info out there.
Yes, it's usually possible.
Yes, it's possible.@@Jim-hv6ql
Yes. It is possible. Call us for a consultation if you would like to explore this option.
back hair?
Yes. Back hair can be used for donor area as well, particularly the shoulder blade areas.
I want to start with body hair and not head hairs. It seems like you have to finish the head first before doing chest
It depends on your situation. The first thing to do is to schedule a consultation.
Good explanation, 1 or 2 inches lenght of body hair to the scalp is better then nothing, at least suitable for short hairstyle.
Excellent explanations!
Glad it was helpful!
Can you use pubic hair too?
You mean i can kill two birds with one stone?!
Exactly!
