Body Hair Transplantation (BHT)

Usually, hair is preferably used for hair transplantation at the head. But sometimes patients do not have enough donor hair to get the desired result. In these cases, it is possible to perform a body hair transplant, the latter being very similar to the hair, in shape and quality. You can use hair from the legs, belly, chest, back, armpits or even the face  and use them for a hair transplant. If need be, even beard hair can be considered as a donor material for a hair transplant.

For some patients, body hair is the source of many thousands of grafts. This vast area can be used as a donor area to achieve higher capillary densities, fill in particularly large bald spots, or perform corrections results that would not be possible for patients with little, no, or insufficient donor hair on the head. The hairs are removed using the follicular unit transplantation technique, so that the treatment does not leave a linear scar. Body hair is usually transplanted as in traditional Hair Transplant In Lahore methods. 

Who Is A Body Hair Transplant For?

As a general rule, for hair transplantation, donor hair is taken and transplanted into the crown or side of the head. Patients for whom a conventional transplant is not indicated do not usually have enough hair in the donor area. When the insufficiency or absence of donor material results from a hair loss or a previous hair transplant, it is impossible to perform a new sample in the donor zone. The results of a hair transplant performed with donor hair that does not have the necessary qualities are generally unsatisfactory; this hair can only compensate for a small part of the hair loss and the residual scars may be more visible.
