Can donor hair be taken from the back of the neck, below the collar line? (photo)

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is possible to harvest neck hairs but it would not be advisable since neck hair is not considered permanent hair.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Yes, hair can be harvested below the collar line but it is not advisable since it may result in visible scars.  This area isn't as vascular as the scalp, does not have the same healing properties, and is more difficult to cover.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

no we do not use neck hair as  a donor site , because it is not safe at all. you may loose them in future by aging and may cause visible scar formation on donor area

Neck hair should not be used as a donor hair for many reasons, (1) it is not permanent, (2) it has short anagen cycles and will not grow very long
