Baldness Reversed Using Body Hair and Follicular Unit Extraction

November 3, 2010 by · 5 Comments 

The patient in this video did not have enough donor hair on his head to meet the needs of repairing his severe hair loss and balding crown.

Dr. Umar used a combination of hair from the patient’s head, body and beard (called body hair transplant) to transfer over 15,000 grafts to the damaged area. Nine months later the improvement was obvious, with fuller hair along the back and sides of his head, and no scars caused by the outdated method of strip harvesting. There’s even plenty of head and body hair left in donor areas should touch-ups be needed down the road.

The patient was also pleased with the style options available to him due to Follicular Unit Extraction; he was able to sport a crew cut without the fear of exposing a linear scar!


Curious about options to fix your severe baldness? Contact Dr. Umar for a free online consultation today.

The patient presented in this video had severe hair loss, and was not ready to settle for a bald crown and a higher aged hairline that a traditional hair transplantation would have offered. Having estimated that his head donor supply cannot meet his demand for global coverage, he visited Dr. Umar with the hopes of using BHT and the Umar procedure. Using a combination of head, body and beard hair, Dr. Umar was able to transfer over 15,000 grafts to his entire balding area. The result at 9 months (with still more improvement to occur) is fuller hair with the back and sides of the head still looking pristine and not overharvested and devoid of a strip scar that could have limited his hair styling options significantly. After his procedure with Dr. Umar, the patient was able to sport a crew cut without the fear of exposing a linear scar, and even is left with an ample supply of head and body donor hair for any touch ups or to address future progression of baldness.

    [...] Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of obtaining donor hair for hair transplantation and individual follicular units are harvested directly from the donor area, without the need for a linear incision. It is a new method of harvesting donor grafts that is less invasive than previous techniques. Small round punches are used to extract follicular units from a patient’s bald resistant donor areas. These 1, 2, 3 and 4 hair follicular unit grafts are then transplanted into a patient’s balding areas. In this hair restoration procedure, a 1-mm punch is used to make a small circular incision in the skin around the upper part of the follicular unit, which is then extracted directly from the scalp. The grafts are then reinserted closely together on the bald scalp. The grafts fit into small slits that have been cut into the recipient area. These slits are about 1 to 2 mm in diameter and are completely undetectable once the new hair grows out. The slits heal quite quickly and do not need suturing. This process is repeated until the desired area is covered. Although many implants are made in one session, there may be a need for an extra session to achieve desired results. This allows for equal distribution of grafts resulting in a more natural-looking appearance. [...]
