Back, chest, neck hairs and normal donor hair for FUE?

Question

In general, how realistic, practical and successfully could an FUE procedure be using the normal donor area with added chest, neck, back hairs?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

the first choise for the donor area is always the back of your head. If you do not have enough hair there than beard and chest hair can be used. İt looks just like your natural hair.

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.  Back and chest hairs are not the primary choice for donor hair.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The best donor hair is scalp seconded by beard hair but not for the frontal hairline, Other body hair has short growth cycles and does not add significant bulk nor significant length to the hair after the transplant.
