I recommend a body hair transplant. I am 5 months post-op and it is coming in nicely, with no complications. Dr. Woods extracted the grafts from my chest cleanly, with about a 5% transection rate.

If a doctor is damaging 30 to 40% of the body hair grafts as he extracts them, as Beverotti says above, that doctor should not be doing the procedure.

It's about $7,700. a session. Basically a session goes from the morning until late into the night. The beauty of it is that you can have hair even if you have no donor area left to work with (very rare), provided you have body hair.

wow, that's not too bad at all! i hope you don't mind me asking how many hairs you had extracted from your scalp, chest, etc... and how many grafts you had total? this could very well be a possibility for me.

Hi,

This would be the perfect choice for me once it's perfected! I seem to have grown a whole head of hair on my back while losing it all on top! I'm sure I'm cursed!
