Beard+Body to Head Hair Transplant

[zkaka]

Hi,

 

Apologies if this has been asked and answered already.

 

I am looking for recommendations for hair transplant where hair are taken from beard, chest and legs as my donor area on back of head is not good. I am looking for clinics in Europe and Turkey preferably.

 

Thanks for help.

 

Regards

There are many thatll do beard but ones that are willing to go further aren't as abundant. Dr Villnow does chest and possibly more hes in Europe somewhere cant remember where, wanna say Germany, but not 100% on that. Reach out to member Shera who reps for Dr Bhatti, Dr Bhatti does beard and chest possibly beyond but Shera would be the expert there. Couple solid options there.

Hi zkaka,

 

Sharing with you an older link to BHT discussion on this forum. Dr. Bhatti (Darling Buds, India) routinely performs BHT procedures with a high success rate.

I am copy/pasting an excerpt from the above mentioned thread here:

 

Dr. Bhatti has a very different approach to a client with a balding issue, which he feel shall be progressive in the long term. He encourages all his Patients with a long term plan for their progressive balding to allow him to harvest beard grafts (besides scalp grafts of course) for a better hairline definition and mid-scalp fill and to keep their remaining scalp grafts as a rain check for future requirements especially in the crown.

 

For example, for a 25 year old Patient, with a type 3 pattern baldness, Dr. Bhatti would plant scalp grafts within the first 1.5 cm along the hairline, mix scalp grafts with beard grafts in a laid down optimal ratio till the highest point of the head. For the crown area he would encourage the Patient to accept a low density preferably with chest grafts or chest grafts with a sprinkling of scalp grafts. He never uses beard hair for the crown area. It is only to be used for the mid-scalp and just behind the hairline.

 

For Dr. Bhatti, “only ABC is GOOD”. (A- Axilla, B- Beard, C-Chest). He is not fond of using any hair other than beard, chest and axilla (in this order of preference) since leg, arm, belly hair, in his experience, take a long time to grow if at all.

In darker racial group he does not venture outside the ‘shadow area’ of the beard which lies on and behind the jawline and above the Adam’s apple due to the possible risk of visible scarring.

 

Given the fact that in a second session (FUE), you can harvest usually half the number of grafts again after a gap of 6 months, realization shall dawn upon you that an average patient (except East Asian) has a large donor area just waiting to be harvested. This realization is fast becoming the game changer today in the field of surgical hair restoration. As a result of this, more and more clinics the world over are busy honing their skills to harvest more and more body grafts with lesser and lesser transection rates. Time is also of the essence and therefore the growing demand for motorized systems, especially the Safe Scribe which is simple, safe and efficient.

 

Body hair, mostly alone, has been routinely used at our clinic for the following indications:

 

1. Extensive baldness with a poor donor area of the scalp and,

2. Camouflaging wide FUT scars.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Best regards,

California

Have you had other doctors confirm to you that your scalp donor is unsuitable for transplantation? And if so, what was the reason?

[zkaka]

Thanks everyone for replies, they will help me to move forward in right direction.

 

Yes I have had responses from some well known names in field that donor area on back of head don't have enough hair. Many not so well known ones have come back with quotes though.

 

May be well known doctors/clinics do not take customers who they can not achieve good results to show as examples, why take a challenging work while there are plenty of easy jobs with less risk.

[gillenator]

That's true...there will always be those who will be willing to do a procedure even if the patients are not a candidate.

 

Low density in itself does not necessarily rule out one's candidacy for hair restoration surgery. But there can be other mitigating factors involved such as the permanency of the donor hair.

Looking into FlyHealth and Cosmedica at the moment.

If anyone have had any experience with them please do share.

 

Thanks
