Pubic hair transplantation to the scalp for African American men?

RoWilliamsMar 2, 2018

When it comes to pubic hair transplantation to the scalp, what if the individual is an African American, would that hair consistency work for the scalp? What do these type of procedures normally cost, and are they covered by medical insurance?

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

4000 grafts of FUE harvesting may cause donor hair depletion if you had a low density of hair to begin with.  FUE is not a scarless surgery and if you keep your hair very short you will definitely see the FUE harvest effects.

Hair transplant surgery takes your own hair and relocates it to another location on your body.  It does not make your hair straight if the donor hair is curly.

Local anesthesia lasts for a few hours.  If you are having issues well after one week you need to contact your doctor for a follow up.

If the injury was severe enough to cause normal hair loss then it may affect your transplanted hairs.
