Large Volume FUE Body Hair Transplant Procedures With The Help of uGraft
Large Volume FUE Body Hair Transplant Procedures: Real Self ( a popular site for patients to ask questions that are answered by real doctors) recently asked Dr. Umar about the phenomenal results his patients experience as a result of body hair transplant.

According to the site, most hair transplant patients who participate on Real Self say they received between 2,500-5000 grafts. But many of the individuals treated by Dr. Umar receive 10,000-20,000 grafts using hair from different areas of the body.

The key to being able to accomplish this lies in using the uGraft technology. This was developed by Dr. Umar himself.

The Large Volume FUE Body Hair Transplant Procedures Dr U achieves using uGraft is amazing. And it offers much promise to patients with severe forms of baldness. But what is also interesting is that these procedures make excellent use of hair that is normally considered to be undesirable.  According to Dr. Umar, “We seek to use a perceived disadvantage of body hair (namely thin caliber) to our advantage … to feather out what was hitherto considered a good hair transplant derived hairline … in order to give the hairline the subtlety that is expected in natural form.”

This patient video which was featured on Real Self shows the results of a patient body hair transplant procedure that used 20,000 grafts. Initially, 15,000 grafts were reinserted. And a year later, Dr. Umar touched up areas of low hair density using 5,000 grafts. The donor pool of these two procedures consisted of 5500 grafts from the head donor area and 14,500 grafts from other areas of the body: nape, beard, chest, abdomen, legs and arms.

 

The use of body hair for transplant procedures can offer wonderful results.  However there are a few considerations to be aware of. In body hair to head transplant, the follicles taken from other regions of the body will grow hair that has the same qualities as before:

  1. Difference in color between head and body hair.  In some patients, head hair is a different color from body hair. Once body hair follicles are reinserted into the scalp, they will continue to have the same color
  2. If non-beard hair extracted from other regions of the body are used, they will continue to grow at the same length. For example chest and leg hair will continue to be short once used on the head
  3. The texture of body hair will not change once they are transplanted into the scalp.

Body hair transplant is essentially an advanced form of Follicular Unit Extraction.  Although FUE technology like Neograft and Artas have emerged in the scene to automate aspects of the procedure, automation is counter productive to the delicate procedure of body hair transplantation and they are ill suited for this kind of procedure.
