Raphael84 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 As we see body hair FUE performed much more commonly and become a great tool for patients with extensive loss and/or donor limitations, it is natural for individuals to seek even more potential sources for restoration. With the standard and more reliable body source being from the beard, the chest is then generally the next consideration.Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Kostis and Melvin discuss the potential usage of "wet" hair for restoration and if it is a wise donor source to use via #FUE? 5 Patient Advisor for Dr. Bisanga - BHR Clinic ian@bhrclinic.com - BHR YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcH4PY1OxoYFwSDKzAkZRww I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.

Senior Member shiba1985 Posted March 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2022 Can someone summarize this. Unable to view video? has anyone tried it and if so how were the results. I believe the sebaceous gland doesn’t grow back once transplanted so sweating shouldn’t be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael84 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 @shiba1985 Sorry if you may have had an issue with playing the video. It seems to have possibly been a temporary glitch as it does appear to be working fine when I and others have checked. The follicular unit for scalp will traditionally also contain the sebaceous glands as part of the structure and be kept in-tact. The difference with what we call "wet" hair, are the then associated apocrine glands that are also larger in size and will not need to be transplanted with the follicle structure as such. 1 Patient Advisor for Dr. Bisanga - BHR Clinic ian@bhrclinic.com - BHR YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcH4PY1OxoYFwSDKzAkZRww I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 9, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 9, 2022 Well I for one can actually admit that I ended up using 232 pubic grafts to fill in old and ugly donor scars in the back of my head. I don’t know how many will survive as I am only 6 weeks post op. But with my curly hair type I think it was worth it and means any beard grafts left can be used in the future if need be for another procedure. 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 10, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 10, 2022 I have had SMP in the old donor scars but one thing I would like from the 'pubic plucking' is to vascularize the donor area by having grafts placed into the scar tissue. If the grafts grow in all the better! GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member sl Posted March 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2022 Good luck with that Gatsby..We have seen body hair to donor scars bring about more blood, change in colour and warmth come back even when placed at low density..it is a good primer for more work.. 1 I represent Dr. Bisanga.

Many thanks. It was a last minute decision by Dr Pradeep as I had given him a wish list of my goals. Placing grafts into my donor scars was last on my list and as I have SMP covering the scars I didn’t expect or think it was going to happen. But Dr Pradeep couldn’t do enough and after the five long days of surgery it was his decision and while I was there I thought it was a great idea as it wouldn’t mean wasting any precious scalp/beard grafts for any future work if needed. 🙏 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
