Survivability of beard donor vs head donor hair?


Recommended Posts

I understand that HT surgeons do not prefer beard/chest as a primary donor area mainly because of the difference in the growth life-cycle and texture of the hair as compared to the head hair.
HOWEVER, does anyone know/have researched if there is also substantial difference in the rate of survivability of hair taken from beard/chest as compared to head hair?

Basically, if total 300 grafts (let’s say single hair) are transplanted—100 from back of the head (safe zone), 100 from beard, and 100 from chest—then is it fair to say that more head hair will grow out then the ones taken from beard/chest?

12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

@YodaHead some doctors whom i had conversation with said tht the survivability of beard grafts is less comparatively (around 80-85% survive)

80-85% only survive ? or 80-85% of the transplanted do not grow ?

I think he's saying 80% of body hair and 90% of scalp hair would survive in the hands of a 'good' surgeon.
