I went ack to the doctor because I cut my hair really short and noticed the donor over harvested. He said he can fill it in with beard hair. I rather use body hair instead of beard hair. Will body hair work to fill in the over harvested donor? I only had 1000 graft extracted and it a small area.
Answer: If your donor area was over harvested and you want to fill in the area with beard hair, don't you think the beard If your donor area was over harvested and you want to fill in the area with beard hair, don't you think your beard area will look over harvested? You may want to consider SMP.

Answer: Overharvested donor area The simplest solution would be to grow your hair longer.If you wish to keep your hair short and fill in some of the donor area both beard and body hair could be used-beard would probably be a little thicker and cover better.Another option would be Scalp Micropigmentation(SMP).

Answer: Body Hair to Replenish Donor Area Beard/body hair can be used to fill in areas on your scalp, no problem. The only issue with that could arise from their different to your normal head hair. Transplanted hair retains it's original characteristics, so since your beard/body hair is likely a different texture, length, and possibly color, those differences will appear when they're transplanted to your head. But if the differences are minor (i.e. same texture/color, you keep your hair short anyways) then it can be done. Talk to your doctor about it and consider looking into other options though, such as SMP.

Answer: Body Hair NOT Recommended... One of the reasons that beard and mustache transplants are possible is because facial hair, particularly hair that grows around the chin, is actually quite similar to the hair that grows on the back and sides of the scalp. Body hair, however, is distinctly different. All hair follicles follow a predictable growth pattern that includes an anagen phase, where hair grows normally, and a telogen phase, where hair that has stopped growing is shed to make room for the next cycle. In the follicles on the scalp the anagen phase can typically last for years, allowing the hair on the head to become quite long and full. However, in the follicles that occur elsewhere on the body, the anagen phase generally lasts only a few months, while the telogen phase may last up to a year. This shortened growing period and extended dormant period explains why the hair on the head tends to be much longer than other hair found on the body. Further, the hairs on the body tend to be either very course or very fine and non-pigmented. Neither is a good substitute for the hair on the scalp.
