Solution to hair loss, I think.....

[FlightTL]

So, I figured that FUT and FUE definitely leaves scars on back of head....BUT...


BHT only leaves scars on chest, legs, etc, which are mostly always covered by shirts/pants. etc.

So this way, I get a hair transplant, and I can trim down as far as I want as well!

So, I'd say 1000 grafts from BHT to start and see results...


Any thoughts?

You really want body hair on your head?

[FlightTL]

Is body hair really that bad? I never saw live patient results in front of me so I wouldn't know

Chest hair is pretty thick on my body and i have plenty of it luckily .

Anyone know if body hair is immune to dht ??

[FlightTL]

Same here. My chest hair is uber uber thick. It would seem that this hair would never be destroyed by dht, who I really do not know.

Some words of caution-

Body hair has different texture than scalp hair. I have heard people say that body hair grafts on a scalp can almost "disappear" when viewed under bright light or from the other side of a room. Also, I understand the yield is less predictable and generally lower when body hair gets transplanted.
Another thing to think about. I don't know if you use DHT drugs or plan to, but I have heard some people report significantly reduced body hair with dutasteride/avodart, so if you ever go on that medicine you might see your grafts miniaturize.
One benefit might be that if you plan to buzz your hair short, it would possibly make up for the difference in texture (and as you say, no scars). However body hair seems to me like a last resort more than a real solution, and with new treatments coming out possibly in the next few years, it would be a shame to regret your decision
If you do decide to try BHT I think starting with a small session, maybe even smaller than 1000, would be safer. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

vinny, I don't think body hair is sensitive to miniaturization from DHT, but unless Im mistaken, some people do have less body hair as they age.

Edit: one last possible complication. My understanding is that there are very few surgeons in the world reliable with BHT, fewer than the number reliable with HTs (which is not many). So your choice of clinics would be quite limited if that is the case.
