Moderators Al - Moderator Posted April 24, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2022 It's going to vary greatly from person to person as to how suitable your belly (abdomen) hair is. If your chest hair has been determined to be good for transplanting and if your belly has the same or similar qualities as your chest hair including the length that it grows and how much of it you have then it is probably able to be used. I had a lot of chest hair taken and we had to move further down into my abdomen in later sessions as I don't have much chest hair left to use. The abdomen hair seems to be growing well on me and I plan to use more of it on my next session. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 24, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 24, 2022 It really is a last resort as in my case three months ago. What is your current hair loss situation? Is your scalp and beard donor maxed out? In terms of 'suitability' it is not just the quality or length of body hair but also why it is being used? for myself I had adequate body hair to compensate for poor scalp and donor hair.

My scalp donor hasn't even been touched yet, but I don't know exactly how good it is. I need to have it examined in person. The Problem with beard donor is that I don't want them to take many grafts from my beard, so they would need to use other hair.
