All about Body Hair Transplantation (BHT)

Dr. David Josephitis takes you through everything you need to know about body hair transplantation. He looks at the pros and cons of this exciting adjunct to scalp hair transplantation. For patients with very little donor left, body hair can help get them closer to their goals.

I need to see the longer video to this

[@Unknown3375]

I have very thick, black and dense body hair(from chest to public area). as thick as public hair. If i transplant to my head will it grow long or it will have limited lengh. And what is survival chance? Can survival chance tested before transplant?

[@abhinavhaldar7694]

can transplanted body hair growing length like scalp hair length?

[@ghigonow]

What about public hair? They are vero thick and strong. Possible in case the patient will keep them short? Avoiding the curly effect

[@dr.josephitis]

Pubic hair can be used as filler in the scalp. I have used this hair in the past and it does work. Unfortunately, there is usually not a very large supply of it to use as donor.

[@72183]

@@dr.josephitis I would like to ask if you have used the pubic hair transplant and the final hair growth rate is good? Also, will the hair grow like pubic hair or just rough, and how long will the growth period take?

[@DiBaBa4919]

What if I have very thick body body hair would that make a difference, I would be doing my 3rd procedure.

Do you think that body hair is optimal for eyebrow transplantation for example for a small scar?

[@saljpal3]

Would it be possible to use arm and leg hair?

[@dr.josephitis]

Some surgeons use extremity hair. I tend to stay with Beard and chest for my body transplant as those hair are much more reliable. Arm and leg hairs are very fine and don't have a high growth rate.

Sir does minoxidil case infertility please answer me

[@dr.josephitis]

Minoxidil doesn't cause infertility, but can cause birth defects if a woman is using the product. We advise women of childbearing age to not use minoxidil or to use it cautiously.

[@soanxious44]

what about using hair from your arm pit? what is the survival rate for arm pit hair?

[@germanlopez758]

I wonder if you can use pubic hair since it's very strong

[@atanaZion]

Why yall choose the strangest places possible?

[@shehabghazaly5070]

I feel my back hair is long fine and soft as exactly as my scalp hair .. I think of using it because my donor area is very weak ... But in this video, you don't recommend back hair .. can you tell me why ?

[@dr.josephitis]

Unfortunately body hair transplanted hair is not as reliable as beard or scalp hair. It is currently unclear why this hair doesn't grow as well. It may have to do with the finer nature of the body hair. In my hands, body hair not including beard, is only about 50-60% successful. This may improve over time, so if my rates do improve I will let you know. Another reason why this hair is not the best is that is often very fine and short. This doesn't really help much on the scalp.
