Is It Possible to Use Body Hair and Implant Them on the Chest Area?

Kane
Normally, when someone desires body hair transplant, the doctors use the donor hair on the back of the head If a person is really hairy all over, for example, whole arms, abdomen, legs, etc, is it possible to use hair from these areas, and transplant it to the chest area? I realize that body hair takes longer to grow than head hair, but in the end, is also hair, so it should be possible, right? what is the main difference between body and head hair?
