paris Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hey all I'm in a bad shape regarding my donor area, back and side, Norwood 6 bad and my donor area is thin. I'd like to have at least some amount of hair on my head and I'm fine with cutting it, like a buzz cut. Strangely my neck if hairy, chest also. I was wondering (if anyone did that or have experience) is it possible to transplant chest/neck/belly hair or that's too unusual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 Have you seen any Dr Umar results ? Is capable of using most body hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 How is your beard ? That’s always the next best source apart from scalp. Would you be able to post any pics of your current situation ? Thanks 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that my donor area is weak and unusable. That's 100% sure. I'll post picture little bit later. Also I haven't seen Dr. Umar results, where can I see them?

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 Use the search function of the forum and you can look for Dr Umar, Dr Mwamba would be another one 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 21, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2021 The alternative to a bad donor is to do nothing or get smp. Can you share pictures?

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have to agree with Melvin here. I don’t think you would get anywhere close to a satisfactory result by using body hair. As you say the donor area is weak and you mentioned the same for your Beard. Chest hair and other body hair isn’t as reliable as scalp and It’s questionable if it would be enough. SMP may be a option if you do keep your hair short.

Senior Member Domino Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 My advice as I’m in a similar situation. Get on finasteride and minoxidil for a year. Let your hair grow out also to see what your really working with. See how you can style your existing hair then contact a surgeon to use minimal grafts for maximum coverage in areas that need it most. Then look at a concealer to cover the rest. Or just keep shaving it😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
