or can get hair from somewhere else other than my scalp? This is for my sideburns and not sure I want my hair's scalp as sideburns! thanks.
Answer: Yes, but don't know anyone to do it for you Just like any other organ transplant, hair can be transplanted from one person to another. This would require the same genetic testing. In fact, it has been done between a bone marrow donor and recipient with success. I do not know of any hair transplant surgeon who would have the ability to do this. Alternatively you can use your own body hair. However, scalp hair is a better match for the side burns.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Can I use someone else's hair for a hair transplant ? The only way to do this would be if you had an identical twin. Otherwise, it is not possible unless you took powerful immunosuppressive medications which no doctor would give for a cosmetic issue. What we do is borrow some hair follicles from the back and sides of the scalp which are genetically programmed to never fall out and move them to the areas that need hair. This can be done for the sideburns. Good luck.

Answer: Can I Receive Someone Else's Hair for Hair Transplant? In order to achieve this. you would have to be given the same harsh immunosuppressive medications that are used in other organ transplants. The benefit to risk ratio is skewed towards too risky for complications. Identical twins could however.

Answer: Other Hair You can only transplant another person’sbhair if it is your identical twin. The DNA must be exactly the same. Otherwise the hair will be rejected.

Answer: Using someone else's hair for transplant In short, no, you cannot receive someone else's hair for transplant. While technically possible if one were to go through the process of matching with a donor (like any other organ transplant) and then taking immunosuppresant medications to prevent rejection, this is not really feasible for a hair transplant. The side effects of the medication and increased costs associated with the testing, medications, and procedure would outweigh the benefits of the procedure. As others have said, using body hair as a donor area is an option, but is usually not as good of a result as using hair from the sides or back of the head whenever possible. All the best,
