Beard Hair Transplant Surgery and Body Hair Transplant Surgery

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique is performed for hair transplant using hair from various parts of the body. This process includes chest hair transplant, beard transplant, auxillary hair transplant and pubic hair transplant as well. The density of the hair decreases after the transplant because only 1 or 2 follicles are transplanted. The further growth of hair is gradual and it takes almost half a year for the growth to begin.

A human body consists various parts that can act as a donor for hair. This technique is useful for clients whose scalp hair is inadequate to provide complete coverage. Donors areas or parts such as beard, chest, underarms can be used to harvest hair follicles over many sessions. This hair is primarily used over the top and crown area and never over the front.

This procedure involves Follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique to perform hair transplant from their chest, beard and axilla that includes pubic hair. The only constraint here is that the density of hair in this area is low and in most cases the grafts only contain one or two follicles. Moreover, the growth of the hair in these regions is very slow which takes more than six months to start the hair growth. This BHT procedure is carried out only if scalp hair is not available. For any further details, you may also consult Dr Amit Gupta – Consultant Divine Cosmetic Surgery; India.

FUE is a method used for the extraction of Body hair. They are picked on one by one and strand by strand from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area. Local anaesthesia is given to the client to make the areas numb before the procedure.

Dr Amit Gupta recommends that body hair is the best filling material that can be used in between the scalp hair to increase density. However, it does not function well when used as primary source of donor’s hair. We do not perform this surgery unless adequate scalp hair is available, at least as the front hairline.
