It has been
observed and reported by various hair restoration surgeons,
that not only can body hair be successfully transplanted
to the scalp; but also that body hair thus transplanted
takes on some of the characteristics of scalp hair. More
data is still in the process of being collected as are the
long term follow ups that are being planned.
However, for people with robust body hair, BHTs (body hair
transplants) afford a welcome oppurtunity to augment the
available donor hair supply. This has helped people with
advanced degrees of hair loss as well as those that have
lost scalp donor hair due to various reasons.
In end, hair transplants
is about numbers. The more the number of hair that can be
aesthetically transplanted to the balding area the fuller
and better the hair restoration.

Many wonder whether the body hair should be used alone or as a filler accompanying the scalp donor hair. We feel it isdependant on the patient's body hair characteristics. For example, one of our patients, who writes by the netname of |
Topshiny has extensive baldness (NW 6). He has opted
to go for ONLY body hair grafts. As a first step he went
for a smaller session of 700 body hair grafts. After seeing
successful growth in those transplanted body hair, Topshiny
has gone for more such procedures. Topshiny's testimonial
and pictures can be viewed at the following link.

We, at Dr. A’s clinic,
believe in the viability of body hair as a method of combating hair
loss. Where most other hair transplant doctors prefer to transplant
hair only from certain areas, Dr. Arvind Poswal and his team have
invented tools and methods that enable them to harvest hair from
almost any part of the body.
In fact, to be considered a body hair transplant doctor, we feel
the surgeons of the future should have the ability “to transplant
hair of all types and from any body area in the desired numbers
to the scalp”. |

on the scalp, cxan be extracted and successfully transplanted

Many of our patients have shared their
results and experiences, online with others on various discussion
forums. The following is a link to a patient's blog who
went for 8000 + body hair grafts. He has recorded, in form
of pictures as well as videoclips, the complete post operative
healing and hair growth phases. You can view his weekly

Body hair is, in effect, a form of hair multiplication available
today.
Most people consider body hair as extra hair.
Many try to actually get rid of them by various means.
Body hair transplant is, for many, a means of getting a fuller
head of hair while at the same time getting rid of unwanted hair
on the body.
Hair from armpits, pubic as well as legs have been transplanted
in numerous patients without any untoward effect in either the
area from where the hair follicles were extracted or where they
were eventually transplanted.
Since, hair on different parts of the body may differ in calibre,
texture etc., its advisable to mix them, while transplanting into
the scalp.
69sting's body hair transplant surgery was a landmark case. 69sting
is the net name of a patient, resident of USA, who had undergone
multiple hair restoration surgeries in USA that had led to disastrous
results, as well as a depletion of the scalp donor hair supply.
Before coming to Dr. A's clinic, 69sting had been refused treatment
by various doctors as the case was considered impossible to improve
with any of the known techniques.
69sting underwent a 5000 + body hair grafts transplant surgery
at Dr. A's clinic.
The details of his BHT surgery and repair can be read at the following
link.

Before
you shave the body donor areas, please, cut a few full length strands
of hair from the proposed body donor areas. Tape & label them
on plain paper. Bring them along with you when you come for the
procedure. This will help the doctor evaluate the characteristics
of your body hair. Or, you may leave a 1 sq cm area unshaved in
the proposed donorareas, so that we can get an idea of the hair
characteristics. |

We have
followed up various cases of BHTs performed at our clinic.
Following is a picture of one such patient.
The patient volunteered for transplanting scalp hair in an
identifiable area on the crown using black hair from the scalp
donor area almost 3 years ago. |
Thereafter,
he underwent another test session. This time using the black
body donor hair (2.5 years ago).
The blue arrow points to the transplanted scalp donor hair.
The yellow arrow points to the transplanted body donor hair.
The after picture (left),
was taken 1 year after the BHT.
We have been following this patient's progress closely for
over 2 years since his bht.
The hair have grown (the scalp as well as the body donor hair).
There is a cyclical variation in the amount of coverage that
the body hair provide. The body donor hair have grown longer
than in their original location, but not as long as the scalp
donor hair.
The color of the transplanted hair has not changed.
A few conclusions till now.
1. The transplanted body hair grows.
2. Is it going to give the same coverage as scalp hair? -
Depends on the characteristics of the transplanted body hair
and on the hair cycles.
Body hair is a valuable
additonal donor available to patients.
Patients who have good, robust body hair are, of course, the
prime beneficiaries.
Even for other patients, FUSE/fue techniques are continuously
improving to open up more sources of donor hair. Facial hair,
for example. |

chest hair into eyebrows - 22 months update.
In most people, the eyebrow hair are very fine and straight.
The chest hair, in them will not qualify for transplanting
into the eyebrows.
However, this patient
had eyebrow hair that resembled the chest more closely
than any other. |
