Non Head Hair FUE- BHT by SFET Use of Beard and Body Hair for Transplantation
Also called Body hair Transplantation (BHT), the process involves the transplantation of scalp and non-scalp body and beard hair to balding areas of the head. Therefore, even severely bald individuals with extremely poor hair surgery outcomes and a depletion of traditional scalp donor hair can achieve a cosmetically acceptable restoration.
Conventional hair transplant methods involve the removal of strips of flesh from the back and sides of the head which result in linear scars that wrap around the back of the head from ear to ear. The process by which Dr. Umar performs BHT is linear scar free and involves Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET), or the "Umar Procedure," a more advanced version of the procedure known as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). With SFET-FUE, hairs are transplanted one at a time in the most natural fashion. . ALL body hair can be utilized including those in the beard, chest, back, stomach area, legs, arms etc. The donor area heals typically with no significant signs of scarring a shown below:

Because of the microsurgical technique used by Dr Umar and his unique approach to BHT extractions which ensures the smallest wounding process, healing in patients has been very remarkable. Patients are often able resume most normal activities the very next day. The time to complete resolution of signs of surgery has ranged from 3 weeks to 4 months.
