Chest Hair Transplant

Friday, May 15, 2009

Did you say you were using the back of his head as a donor for this project?
head hair keeps on growing long without a haircut and at least in my case, its straight with no curl or wave like a leg hair or pubic hair. Does this mean your client will make friends with a beard trimmer so he wont have long bushy chest hair?
Please explain. I am considering this.

Thank you for your question.  Yes, scalp hair is used as the donor hair.  Therefore, these hairs need to be trimmed every 2 weeks or so.  For most patients, once scalp hair is transplanted into the chest, it actually starts to grow more like chest hair, becoming a bit kinky, so that it looks quite natural.

 

Hope that helps.
