If you are considering a cosmetic surgery it would be in your interest to see a doctor for an examination to make sure you would be a candidate.Using body hair may be an option but it is not the best choice.

Baby or vellus hairs are not recommended for transplant.Healthy soft single hairs gives the naturel appearance

The donor area on the back of the head is the hair zone that is considered permanent.  Therefore to get successful results we recommend using the scalp donor area to ensure growth.  When we design the hairline we use grafts made of 1-2 hairs for a natural look on the front of the scalp.  This would grow with the rest of your hair.  Using body hair for donor area is possible however not highly recommended  and would be a last resort if the scalp donor area wasn't available.

Nexk hair is not permanent hair so it is not good to use. A good hair transplant surgeon can fix this problem without using body hair, but body hair can be used
