Body hair transplant - My Severe Baldness Cured

Go to http://www.dermhairclinic.com for more info about this patient who considers his baldness cured by Dr Umar using body hair transplantation in his Los Angeles office. In this video, Dr Umar uses Body hair to head transplantation also called Body Hair Transplantation ( BHT ) in combination with Beard and head hair to restore a severely bald individual. Dr Umar uses BHT in patients that have a relative or absolute lack of traditional donor sources ( back of the head).

Traditional/regular hair transplant methods (often strip) rely solely on the transfer of hair from the sides and back of the head to the balding areas. The number of available hair by this method is limited to 5000-6000 (in most individuals). This number is not enough to compensate for the hair loss in severely bald individuals who often would have lost 25,000-50,000 follicles. When 5000-6000 follicles are used to make of for this loss as would be the case with traditional hair transplantation, the result is a very thin look. Alternatively traditional hair restoration surgeries have prioritized the front (called framing of the face). In this case the 5000 follicles are placed in the top and front 9often with a high receding hairline) while the top back (Crown) is left largely unaddressed. The severely bald individual is thus compelled to settle for a bald pate (crown) and an aged higher hairline with the best traditional transplants can offer. At which point they would have run out of head donor and options.

Using the "Umar procedure", Dr Umar is able to expand the available donor supply by adding hair from the beard and body areas into the head donor pool. The result is that even severely bald individuals can be conceivably restored globally without sacrificing the crown or settling for an aged higher hairline. The boosted donor supply also implies a higher density than what can be achieved with fewer follicle. 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.

The patient presented in this video had severe hair loss. He was not ready to settle for a bald crown and a higher aged hairline that traditional hair transplantation would have offers. Having estimated that his head donor supply cannot meet his demand for global coverage he visited Dr Umar with a view to adding BHT using the Umar procedure. Using a combination of head, body and beard hair, Dr Umar was able to transfer about 20,000 grafts to his entire balding area in the course of 2 surgeries spaced 1 year apart. The result at 1 year after the last surgery (with still more improvement coming) is a fuller look with still a pristine back and sides of the head which is not overharvested and devoid of a strip scar that could have limited his hair styling options significantly. With this procedure, the patient is able to sport a crew cut without the fear of exposing a linear scar, yet he still is left with an ample supply of head and body donor hair for any touch ups or to address future progression of baldness.

Dr Umar performs BHT using a process he calls Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET) or Umar Procedure. SFET 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 by the American Board of Dermatology.

My girlfriend wants know if chest hair will eventually grow the same as normal head hair with eye on that it are normally different hair types. Will this hair adjust or will this grow as chest hair on your head.. You can't see it in this video because the hair is to short.. What happens if this hair will grow longer in comparison with the normal hair?

thank you for your answer.

@joellie2010 It grows only marginally longer than its natural length on the chest when transferred to the head.

Who says money can't buy happiness? If your money isn't making you happy, send some of it to me!!

Sometimes all a person needs to be happy, is to look their own age. I'm 24, but I look like I'm 50 thanks to baldness. I want to look my own age again.

[honeypower]

@WTF1920 Same here, I lost my all hair at 23 and it destroyed my confidence. Now I don't put any effort into my looks or my clothes or anything cause I have the hairline of a 50 year old guy. Why bother dressing nice or shaving or anything? All a woman will notice is the ridiculous hairline, sadly.

[steve884]

There are worse things on this planet than baldness... I can assure you that

[amichair]

@WTF1920 i'm 17. i've been greying from 13, so i'll take your case any time of the day,a but true words, mate.

[AMBASSODOR]

@G0ttaBeFresh That is the next stage in Hairtransplantation, they will be able to clone hair, so nobody will be bald uness they choose to be

[godkingRoss]

i shaved my head the other day because i was sick of people looking at my bad hair plug while i was talking to them. the funny thing is women with cleavage would stare at my freakish bald head when talking to me, but if i stated staring at their cleavage i'd get slapped or told "my eyes are up here"

[godkingRoss]

@WTF1920 i feel for you, mate. at 25 my hair's retreating fast and started at your age too. i've just past the denial stage of grief and shaved my head.

GO N WATCH THE VIDEO CALLED IMPEACH BALDNESS FOREVER VIDEO 4

[arabiangreengirl]

@WTF1920 all the same bro...

[G0ttaBeFresh]

Why can't you take a follicle, clone it, and then do a traditional transplant with the cloned follicles. That way you can have infinite hair to use.

[MrSCFV]

@hahahahahahahahSTFU

you would need multiple sessions and the BHT grafts would cost more than the 'regular' FUE grafts... I would guess somewhere between €35,000 and €40,000

[MikeAdamsMusic]

@HOMEnHIGH hahahahaha!! xD
