I hate my over harvested donor area, I want to kill myself

DRT is an acronym for Donor Replacement Therapy (technique).

And the words therapy/technique imply that replacing your donor hair can be in combination with a variety of donor sources from the body including beard donor.

Yes the texture is usually different from scalp hair yet we have to be mindful that this is a repair situation with limited resources, meaning, the goal is improvement as much as possible using the available resources that you currently have. 

Combining the best SMP with BH are really the only viable options but best to get multiple opinions from surgeons who have performed multiple repair cases.

 

 

So is the body hair implanted directly into the fue scars? Don’t grafts have a low yield into scar tissue?

Yes, the BH is implanted directly into the FUE scar and yes it can be more difficult for regrowth through scar tissue because scar tissue is usually more condensed/compact and usually without blood flow.  This is why beard grafts can be a better alternative for scar tissue because beard hair is usually more coarse than scalp hair or other BH such as chest hair.

Sometimes the hair is also implanted on the edge perimeter of the scar where there is blood flow and can help to disguise the scar tissue.

Regrowth results in scar tissue varies a lot between patients and really takes an in person exam and evaluation by surgeons with experience in multiple cases of grafting scar tissue.
