Regular Member Gin0rm0usF0rehead Posted August 23, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2011 I want to fue repair my trico scar, but don't want to use my donor hair for that. Since I am naturally smooth (i.e. no chest, arm, or leg hair), would it be possible to use arm pit hair? I mean, its useless hair in its current location, and its just used to conceal the scar. I dont have much facial hair either, but am willing to sacrifice whats inbetween my chin and neck hair too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alexdelarge Posted August 23, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2011 The cause of your baldness might be due to hormonal problems, and could have been fixed without a hair transplant. Did you ever consult a doctor about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 23, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've never seen an arm pit hair transplant. The most common body hair to use for transplantation is beard hair.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 If you really do not want to use your scalp donor hair for FUE into the scar I would recommend chin hair before armpit hairs. There are thicker and have a better chance of surviving and helping to camouflauge the scar compared to the thinner kinky underarm hairs.

Senior Member Sparky Posted August 26, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2011 Armpit hair is from one of the "wet" areas and shouldn't really be transplanted.

Regular Member Gin0rm0usF0rehead Posted August 26, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 26, 2011 Makes sense. But I dont have much facial hair lol. Im the typical non-hairy Asian guy. I'll talk to my doctor and see if my lack of beard hair is even enough to make a difference on my head. Thanks!
