Question:
I heared that some candidates are not suitable for transplantation because of not having very good donner site area.
In such case can few donner hairs combined with body hairs???
can we use the combination of both to achieve a fuller looks???
Answer:
Yes Rahul, sometimes patients do not have a very good donor supply, in which case body hairs can be obtained by the FUE technique to supplement the coverage. These body hairs are less reliable for transplanting, but can in some patients be quite good- especially when they come from the beard and sometimes the chest. Additional scalp hairs can typically be obtained in addition to those from the strip by doing the FUE technique at the same or subsequent procedure.
