In such cases, we can refer to patients\u2019 chest, beard, and other body hair.

Since the rib cage is tough, hair extraction with FUE is so much easier. How is body hair transplant done? We are one of the few hair transplant clinics in Turkey that operate it. We do body hair transplant in 3-5% of cases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/body-hairs.jpg\" alt=\"body hairs abdomen beard\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Body Hair Transplant (Pros and Cons)<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth mentioning that not all body hair is suitable for the transplant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Thick and strong hair is the main criteria for the hair transplant from chest. Otherwise, the hair waste range grows. In other words, weak grafts have low survival chances.<\/li>\r\n<li>Chest hair is usually single grafts. It benefits in density increase operations.<\/li>\r\n<li>Anagen phase of the body hair is shorter compared to head hair (except for the beard). This is why hair follicles are shorter and weaker. Chest hair usually does not grow longer than 5-6 cm.<\/li>\r\n<li>Chest hair is generally curly, which is why it is better to be transplanted to middle and back head areas.<\/li>\r\n<li>Another advantage of body hair transplant is that a person can get rid of unwanted hair from the body. If you have hair deficiency and want to get rid of chest hair by laser epilation, we recommend you to consider hair transplant from chest to head. Chest hair is a golden reserve for Norwood 5 &#8211; 6 &#8211; 7 patients.<\/li>\r\n<li>Scars after FUT transplant can also be covered with body hair.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/bad-hair-transplant-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Bad hair transplant restoration<\/a><\/strong> can be done with body hair as well.<\/li>\r\n<li>Chest, abdomen, leg, back hair grows more horizontally than head hair.

We described all details on hair <strong><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drhakandoganay.com\/en\/hair-transplant-from-beard-to-head\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">transplant from the beard<\/a><\/strong> page. One patient out of five undergoes this surgery in our clinic.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>B) Hair Transplant from Chest: <\/strong>We can also add abdomen and leg hair to this group.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>C) Other Body Hair: Armpit hair, genital area, back, shoulder, and leg hair: <\/strong>We do not practice these body hair transplant. It is hard to extract soft tissue hair and also their survival rate is comparatively low. Genital hair may be used for eyebrow transplants. Chest and other body hair are transplanted to the head. Dr. Umar from the US is quite successful in hair transplant from legs to head.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How is Hair Transplant from Chest Done?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no difference in hair extraction from the nape or chest. Areas are anesthetized locally. In very rare cases clinics worldwide do general anesthesia. Our clinic has never done it. We operate with local anesthesia, however, this is not a disadvantage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As hair roots are connected to certain nerves, local anesthesia dose is small. Every square centimeter is selected carefully. This whole procedure decreases daily grafts extraction number because only certain anesthesia doses are allowed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tension on body parts like chest and legs is called turgor, it is less compared to the head. This is why serum physiologic is injected into the chest, legs, abdomen to extract grafts easily. Otherwise, grafts collection get complicated and roots may be damaged. Moreover, hair roots in these areas are located 3-4 mm deep. Hair extraction from the body differs from the regular (from the head). If the doctor is experienced enough, grafts damage and wastage range decreases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We harvest 500-1.500 grafts per day from the chest. Collecting more than 1.500 grafts from the chest is incorrect. If a bigger graft number is planned to be transplanted, the operation must be split into several days. This is also correct in terms of the patient&#8217;s health. Moreover, spot anesthesia is more suitable for the chest rather than the whole chest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you plan to go through a body hair transplant, we recommend you to take Minoxidil during a certain time before the operation. Such solution as Topical will help to increase anagen in the donor area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p><em>Body hair extraction, once anesthetized, is the same as the regular FUE extraction. While extraction the doctor must pay attention to the growing angle of chest hair. Chest hair is shorter compared to the head. Another point is that the doctor must adjust proper depth. Finally, to simplify the procedure physiologic serum can be injected.
