Hey blower, did the grafts mAke a big impact from the beard and chest, respectively 

what percentage of those beard hairs grew, and would you say survived for the long run?

have you checked to see if any of this went systemic? also, where did you go to get it/what did the doctor recommend as far as applying and how much of it?any pictures would be very helpful

A bit over 4600 body hair grafts split almost evenly between chest and beard. I have another session coming up in January. I'm hoping to get another 800 to 1000 grafts done.

 

 

I am a true NW7. My sides have dipped very far down and what's left is thinning too. Without body hair grafts I would be completely bald where some the strip scars were (I had multiple strip scars). I also have some retrograde balding and I lost hair upwards from the back past the lower scars there as well. This is why most of the previously transplanted hair from the strip scars has fallen out. It lasted 15 years until the hair loss progressed past the scars, but it was never a good hair transplant anyway and never gave me any real coverage. Eugenics and Umar are already doing what I'm saying, although to a lesser extent as they usually use less body hair than I would, but they are doing it and getting good results so far. I think more places need to be incorporating body hair in the original planning.

I took finisteride for about 11 years, but I was already a NW7 and still losing hair. Yes it was thinning out my chest hair, but I don't know about my beard. My thought was there was no point in continuing finisteride if I'm still losing hair and already a NW7 and needed to use body hair to get any improvements. I hated being on medication continuosly anyway and I'm so glad I'm not on it any more. I do think I lost some head hair faster since being off of finisteride, but again, what was the alternative? I didn't see any other choice. I'd rather have body hair covering my head instead of scars covering my head.

 

Yes. A lot of it is gone now which is why I had no other choice than to go with body hair. But it did grow for a lot of years and thinned out just like it would have if it was still in the donor area and never moved.

 

Yes. As time goes by it gets harder to tell the difference. The length has never bee an issue. It actually grows faster and longer than my head hair. I have a few scattered hairs that don't like to comb the right way or that still have a bit of roughness to them, but I don't know if that's because it was body hair or because of all the scarring I had on my head that it was transplanted in to. Years ago I had 5 scalp reductions so we are transplanting over all that, most of the previous transplanted hair is gone and being transplanted over those scars, some of the strip scars are being transplanted into, I had I think over 100 3.75mm plugs of scalp removed and sutured closed years ago to try to eliminate some spaces between grafts etc, etc, so I had a lot of scarring.

The thing is though that you can't tell by looking that it's not real head hair and since a NW7 doesn't have much hair anyway there's not really any hair that you are tryng to match or blend in with, so if it's not the same texture as it was when you were younger and had hair does it really matter?

 

 

hey happy,

thanks for all of the help. would it be possible to upload some photos of your hair so that we could see how well the body hairs worked for you. I am also looking forward to working with them. thanks so much

sure, i'm not going to write a dissertation on this topic, just trying to chime in 

several friends of mine and retrospective cases that I looked back on this forum to see which physician they used and what technique was employed. 

sure, this tends to especially be the case if a surgeon uses a needle as opposed to blades to make the slits. there is unnecessary trauma, consequently leaving a competition for the bloodline that results in these aforementioned cases. 

no, I'm talking about hair that has grown

there will always be some donor miniaturization that can contribute to this. also I believe if a surgeon traumatically made the holes for the grafts, I have seen many times the graft falling out in about a one year range

trying to decide between scalp micro in ny and nhi in nyc if anyone can chime in

100% some grafts that have been transplanted will fall out

looking like you are progressing well! when you use body hair (beard and chest), you mentioned that the hairs go into a resting phase more often, but do they come back and how long does it take for each to come back? thanks so much

I woudn't listen to melvin, it will stretch your fut scar

hi i was looking for the best clinics to get this done as a filler treatment/scar concealer. much appreciated 

dr. lupazula offers a topical duasteride gel. the rationale behind is that the molecular structure is larger than that of finasteride, hence it would be harder to penetrate and go systemic. does anyone know anything about this

i started with 1.25, then 2.5, now 5, didnt notice any side effects

You can get Finasteride gel from the following company. You doctor will have to email them the prescription and they will send you the medication in your name.

hey gabreille,

I believe this is the one that was helped be made by hasson and wong using liposomal delivery. i was wondering, did you experience side effects from it. I haven't heard much about it since it's initial debut

his experience with various body hairs

how did the beard and chest hair grow for you, and did they last, grow long, blend? thanks so much

what are some difference between how he practices and Dr. Konior who he learned from?

2)what's his experience been on working with body hair and his thoughts on it?

thank you

Here is one of the guys from the video, as of today sent these beard photos after 3,800 taken...Got some salt and pepper in there and now 52.

hI, 

thank you for posting. have you noticed a difference between the hairs that grew under the chin vs the ones from the face? thanks so much

Thanks pengloss, I am also wondering about this and also the difference between cheek hair and under the chin beard hairs

if the graft was not hydrated properly or held out of the body for too long,  i think that would prevent it from growing 

hi,

i have a question. I wanted to know the growth phase for beard that came from under the chin and those that come from the face. do they have different growth cycles, what has been your experience with them? thank you

ok I understand. your hair looks great. would you say that most of the beard and chest hair gree. I’m curious to know especially how well chest hair grows
