Body Hair Transplant
In very specific cases, the use of body hair, usually chest, back and leg hair, can be utilized as donor hair with varying degrees of success. Body hair is in most cases reserved for those in need of significant repair from older, outdated procedures, but in rare cases, depending on the candidate, body hair can be used to fill in areas lacking hair when there is no scalp donor hair left to utilize. Body hair transplantation is a very specialized discipline of hair transplant surgery and should be researched carefully before undergoing this procedure.
