I've had three FUTs and two FUEs ultimately causing depletion of my donor area. I have an unusual amount of thick hair on my arms and I wanted to know if it would be a bad idea to have my arm hairs transplanted into my liner scar (BHT)?

Answer: Body hair for transplant Hello and thank you for your question. The answer is yes you can use body hair but it is not advisable. Body hair is very thin and will not work well. I suggest use Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) for better results. Best wishes.Dr. T

Answer: Use of body hair into Strip (FUT) scars I have completed multiple successful FUE procedures placing mainly FUE grafts from the beard into strip scars. Depending on the length and width of the scar(s), this can be complete in one session. The graft take is usually good. With thicker scars, I often will use a small FUE punch to punch out the FUT scar and then place grafts into those punched out areas. Body hair such as from the arm or chest is also an acceptable area to get donor hair from.
