Bad Hair restoration result : Repair by BHT - FUE : Body Hair Transplantation

For more on Dr Umar transplants go to our website: http://www.dermhairclinic.com/

In this example, Dr Sanusi Umar uses Body hair to head transplantation ( Body hair transplant ) to repair the head of a patient who has sustained damage from poor or bad hair surgeries performed years ago at other clinics. Some of these surgeries could be characterised as botched. The procedure is commonly called Body Hair Transplantation (BHT). This is an option for severely bald individuals or those that are donor depleted until hair cloning cell based hair multiplication technology becomes available in the future.
Dr Umar uses BHT in patients that have a relative or absolute lack of traditional donor sources. In this case, the patient had lost his head donor after multiple antiquated scalp surgeries at other clinics, which left him still very bald with many disfiguring scars. Left with no option, he went to see Dr Umar about using body hair as his only resort. Dr Umar carried out the surgery using 2000 beard hair as well as 8000 hair from the stomach area, arms, legs and thighs. The result in 6 months is a completely transformed and happy patient. The technique by which Dr Umar performs BHT is called Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET). This is his version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The procedure is performed at his Redondo Beach office in California. DermHair Clinic is a division of FineTouch Dermatology Inc. Dr Umar is a fellowship trained cosmetic surgeon, and Certified dually by the American Boards of Dermatology and Internal Medicine.



Here is a testimonial from the patient:

"I am a 54-year old physician who, similar to many young individuals, began to experience crown and frontal hair loss in my 20's (1981). At that time, I underwent the generic 2 scalp reductions and HT to the frontal area from the well-known Los Angeles "mill", without regard to future balding. As with most poorly planned hair transplants, my baldness progressed shortly thereafter and I had frontal grafts that were too "pluggy", an unnatural frontal hairline, hair placed in the wrong direction, scarring in the recipient area, donor scarring, and a depleted donor supply.

Because my hair was long and curly, I was able to somewhat minimize the oddness of these results. However with further balding, things looked weird.

As a result, during some free time, I underwent a flap procedure from a well-established Los Angeles surgeon in 1995. This procedure should never have been done given my low donor hair supply and compromised donor circulation, and I had necrosis (death of the tissue) at the distal ends of both flaps. I did not pursue legal action (which I cold have) but focused my efforts on taking time away from work and undergoing significant repair (scalp expansion) with a highly reputable and kind surgeon in the Bay Area.

Fast forward to this year. Because of free time between career changes and financial security, I was intrigued by the possibility of body hair transplants, although initially a little hesitant and unsure of what the probability of "technical success" would be for me. I spoke with several patients who had successful outcomes with Dr. Umar and decided to "go for it" with the proviso that I was truly seeking improvement and not perfection (and with the view that things could not be made worse).

My results, as you can see, could not have been more spectacular. I had no shedding, almost immediate 100% growth in the frontal and mid-scalp areas, and current growth now occurring in the crown. Although my prior odd appearance was not career-limiting, I feel like a new person. I can not say how this procedure would work on others, as it is in its infancy and data on many individuals have not yet been published. But, as a patient and a physician, I felt like I did my due diligence by approaching a terrific and committed physician (Dr. Umar).

Because of time constraints, I also chose not to undergo a "test area" (which Dr. Umar recommended) but to have it all done at the same time. For people with need of extensive work from bad hair procedures and no scalp donor supply(and the time and financial resources to do so), body hair transplant offers great hope in the hands of skilled, ethical, and committed physicians like Dr. Umar.

I am also hopeful that physicians who have not had success with this procedure (and readily announce their dissatisfaction with BHT on the web) can collaborate to quantify their experiences and better understand why results may vary with different physicians. "

Dr. Umar, you are incredible physician. If I end up needing a hair transplant, fut/fue/bht, then I'm coming to you.

How does scarred tissue respond in be able to regrow the new body donor hair? What percentage of hair regrows in these scarred/damaged tissue areas? Great work and many thanks!

[Commando303X]

Also, won't extracting hair from the beard leave scars (or sunken-in spots) on the face?

[Commando303X]

Won't body hair be too short?

[herbal1971]

That's an unbelievable result! I bet he was very happy.

@kjaan Fee: $7 per graft.

[kjaan]

How much does it cost per graft? How many hair on each graft?

[pirrurrisboy]

is it expensive?

[funkervogt47]

Interesting, though you're still SOL if you don't have a lot of chest hair or if you scar easily on your body.
