Based on recent publications, this video provides an overview of beard to scalp follicular unit extraction (FUE). Highlights include statistics related to graft survival, beard hair caliber (versus that of scalp), and length of transplanted hair (beard versus scalp).

Billena,

 

Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative video. We get a number of question about these types of procedures and it will be a great resource to refer to.

cool , im pleased more Drs are offering this to patients , im having my third procedure to repair my massive strip scarring tommorrow with Dr Bisanga who has been utilising beard hair successfully for a number of years now

 

Im glad more and more Drs are looking at this tried and trusted method rather than the usual annual/ latest thing / treatment/procedure that usually ends in complete failure

 

I would dissagree with the %yeild quote though , as my yeild is more in the region of over 90% , perhaps thats due to Dr Bisanga , or his .8mm manual punch and not an automated version

 

regards

EJ, Talking about Beard hair transplant, you are the superstar in this forum. I wonder how your scar looks now with all these beard grafts placed in it? Can you update us buddy? Beard hair into scar is my next step after the scar revision for sure... :-)

Oh, that's strange!!! Why is that ej? Is there any reason why you removed all the pics?

This video is great! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to the chest to scalp video. Any idea if we will see leg hair video as well? I know Dr. Umar did a hair line with leg hair. Looked good.

I'm glad you are enjoying these informative videos. Hopefully, they are providing some pretty objective info without terrifying anyone due to the actual surgical footage!

 

Our office will try to put the chest/abdomen-to-scalp FUE video out next week once the recent data and footage are sorted through.

 

Leg FUE? Hmmm. We'll get to that in time...

Dr. Umar is a very confident Doctor when it comes BHT. I think he is the best out there in this technique. BHT in my opinion is very important for previous HT vicitms and for others who didnt reach satisfaction after using their donor and for HT patients who want to cover their strip scar without using their precious donor. Good Video SHYGUY.

Good Luck ej, Good to hear that. But why did your remove your photos from your previous thread? It was really useful for anyone who wants to do Beard FUE into scar :-(

We use a 0.8mm SAFE Scribe for most beard FUE. When the RPMs are turned down most of the way the transection rate is extremely low as the tip doesn't cut the follicle bulb, but rather encloses it within the cylinder prior to extraction.

 

The figures (e.g. graft yield) in our video are to reflect the published works of various surgeons in our field. Certainly there will be variation based on not only punch size, but storage solution, graft out of the body time, and graft handling technique used.

Hmm... somewhat disappointing as I was hoping to use my back hair for fill in since I'd like to get rid of my back hair anyway, but this video says that the survival rate is worse than bard and chest hair. It might not be worth trying that then.
