Body hair transplant: surgeon options worldwide?

[arturmeireles]

I only know Dr. Umar and Dr. Woods.

I live in Portugal. Last year I went for a consultation with Dr. Bisanga. He purpose me FUE with Strip. I asked him for body hair transplant and he wasn't very happy about it but he said would use some beard hair. I ended up not doing it because I didn't want to have a scar with strip.

I'm looking for a good body hair transplant surgeon. I read mixed reviews about dr. Umar and dr. Woods. I guess every doctor has good and bad reviews and besides that I have to ended up choosing one. I'm looking for a good body hair transplant surgeon worldwide but an European one would be better.

I contacted dr. Umar last month and we already exchanged few emails.
I want to do 9000 grafts from body hair. I sent him pics of my beard, chest and abs and dr. Umar said I have very good donor area on my beard.
Would be better to do a 9000 grafts implant all at once? I mean in a course of a week length? Or should be better if I do 4500 grafts first and then after +- 10/12 months I do another 4500 grafts?

I think the 4500 graft option, and then another 4500 graft surgery is as far better option. I would never recommend someone do a 9000 graft session all at once. And 4500 grafts in one session is still a large session.

Have you already exhausted your scalp donor?

do a small procedure first to evaluate growth, i would not go for 4-5000 in 1st procedure..
have 1000 or less and see what happens

There are many FUE docs who do bht, nowdays most of them do it,
imo its not Dr its actually BHT itself that is the problem and even tops docs get mixed results,


good thing abt bht is if you dont like it you can always shave it off, no white dots or scars

A procedure with 1000 grafts won't even be noticeable. Don't you think?
I went to dr. Bisanga in Belgium last year and he didn't want to do BHT.

what im trying to say is that you wanna have small test procedure first,

you wanna know wht % of transpanted bht will grow?

would you be happy if 20-30% grows?


you can go ahead and go for 9000 grafts but if only 3000 grows you would be very unhappy...

what pisses me off is when doctors lie that 90%+ will grow

Have you already exhausted your scalp donor?

Yes. Due to a bad fue that I did with a very bad doctor I have now a poor donor area. That's why I'm doing bht.
