…the end they come to may not only prove fruitless but also frustrating. Even depressing. The hairline remains unchanged. From here, the next step is to search for a permanent solution: hairline restoration surgery.
Creating A Natural Hairline Using Leg Hair Through Body Hair To Head Transplantation
How Can Leg Hair Restore the Hairline?
Though hairline restoration surgery typically results in permanent re-growth, certain methods are far more effective than others. In the hands of skilled doctors, the best hairline restoration surgery available is follicular unit extraction (FUE), possibly incorporating body-hair-to-head transplantation.
FUE is the extraction of follicles from the donor area of the scalp one at a time, meaning hairs are taken in their natural groupings (one to four hairs). It is the “cherry picking” of donor hair. Hairs can be taken from anywhere on the scalp—from behind the ears or at the nape of the neck, where the hair is finest. These follicles are then implanted into the hairline.
Body-hair-to-head transplantation is made possible, in suitably qualified candidates, using UGraft advanced FUE. This means hairs can be taken from almost anywhere on the body, and includes leg hair. Leg hairs are typically prime follicular units for hairline restoration using UGraft FUE. They are an ideal length and fineness for designing a gradual and natural-looking hairline. This makes body-hair-to-head transplantation a far superior method to the “traditional” strip surgery, which limits donor hairs to the mid-back portion of the head—where hair is thickest. Strip surgery does not allow for the use of nape or leg hair. The result is thus a noticeably harsh hairline that is not congruent with nature.
While body-hair-to-head transplantation using leg hair is ideal for hairline restoration candidates with a depleted head donor supply, it can be applied to almost any patient with sufficient body hair quality and quantity. (An experienced surgeon adept at body-hair-to-head transplantation can often determine your qualification for the procedure more accurately.) Some patients may not have fine enough nape hair to design the hairline effectively, or some may just prefer to use leg hair as their donor pool.
At DermHair Clinic in Los Angeles, Dr. Umar has practiced his expertise in this UGraft advanced form of FUE on dozens of patients. Not only is he a widely respected FUE hair transplantation surgeon, he is also a pioneer of the body-hair-to-head transplantation method.
