Body hair transplant (BHT) is another successful innovation or specialty of FUE hair transplantation. This new technique is being presented as an option especially for patients who have limited or exhausted scalp donor sites to add density after scalp hair transplantation.
Body hair transplant is a specialized hair restoration procedure that involves the transplantation of hair follicles from various areas of the body to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who have limited donor hair on their scalp or desire additional hair for facial hair transplantation. Skilled surgeons carefully extract individual hair follicles from areas such as the chest, back, or legs, and transplant them to the recipient area, which can include the scalp, eyebrows, or beard.
During a body hair transplant procedure, meticulous planning is essential to ensure optimal results. Surgeons assess the characteristics of the body hair, including its texture, growth pattern, and suitability for transplantation. They consider the specific needs and expectations of each patient to create a personalized treatment plan. By utilizing advanced techniques, the transplanted body hair can blend seamlessly with existing hair, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Body hair transplant offers a viable option for individuals seeking to restore their hair or enhance their facial hair, providing them with the opportunity to achieve their desired hair density and improve their overall appearance.
The technique Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) of body hair has enabled hair restoration surgeons to harvest grafts from multiple donor areas including abdomen, armpits/axillary area, chest, back, beard, forearms, legs/thighs, and pubis. Body hair transplant, therefore, offers the removal of unwanted hair and placing them into thin area or areas where they are most needed. The patients are requested to shave the body hair 3-4 days before the procedure.Choosing the source of body hair transplantation will depend on the goal of the patient

- Smallest donor extraction site wounds with the use of 0.75 mm punch, that leaves undetectable scarring in Asian.
