In this example, Dr Sanusi 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 individuals 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.

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 over 15,000 grafts to his entire balding area. The result at 9 months (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 dually by the American Boards of Dermatology and Internal Medicine respectively.

  • ask any bald guy! (ask me!)who the fuck cares about a porche? what for? get chiks only for the car? no thanks! for a bald guy to get the hair back means more than a lamborghini....and a porche together...plus a ferrari...on top...the feeling is costless...the only question is that you have the kind of money or not?

  • I agree with cellerosvision. What good is a damn Porshe if you dont feel good about yourself. When you lose your hair, You feel like a part of you has died. The chicks are secondary. The most important thing is your self esteem. with confidence alone, you will have an easier time picking up women. With a full head of hair, It will be even better!!

  • hi Dr. umar, good job how much it cost me if i need 3000 to 4000 grafts pls thanks

  • Dr. Umar is the best clinic on the world i recomed to all people.

  • @cellerosvision U R EXACTLY CORRECT. I have had a few hair procedures and at age 43, I LOOK 30 WITH A FULL HEAD OF HAIR. WORTH EVERY CENT. NO ONE WOULD EVER TELL, IT IS SO NATURAL LOOKING, NOT LIKE 20 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM MEN OR WOMAN HAVE IS THE FEAR AND THE MONEY, OTHERWISE GO FOR IT. IT IS PAINLESS !@!

  • whats the sideeffects?

  • that looks fucking awesome!

  • "I am on a horse..."

  • @TheRmcStudios hey waht are you doing to stop or slow down your loss like you said in your post???

  • @TheRmcStudios You and me both, pal. I started losing my hair when I was sixteen and I'm slowly approaching a Norwood 3 at nineteen now. Right now, I'm actually building a laser helmet to perform some laser therapy on my follicles (I have my fingers crossed, I KNOW it'll help me in the long run).. but I know that I'll never return to Norwood 1 until I get an HT.

  • @DBSpy1

    I bet they probably only work 2-3 days a week but I guess you could say that about being a painter/decorator. It would drive me mad painting walls all day but I might learn to like it if someone paid me 10K to paint their house.
