Los Angeles Hair Restoration: Body Hair Transplant to Restore Leg Hair

April 28, 2010 - PRLog -- These pictures show the first documented successful body hair transplantation (BHT) to restore the hair on the legs. The patient had shin hair loss due to friction. Before coming to Dr. Umar in Los Angeles, he had underwent a failed body hair transplant attempt by a hair surgeon at another hair restoration clinic who tried to transplant thigh hair to the leg area.

Dr. Umar performed his leg hair restoration transplant using 600 FUE – BHT grafts derived from the chest and transplanted to the shins. Take note that the red spots seen in the picture are results from a previous hair transplant attempt by another hair transplant clinic to plant thigh hair to the shins, and are still evident in the before and after pictures.

Dr. Umar uses his advanced version of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) known as Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer (SFET). With this method Dr. Umar is able to use body hair as another alternative to traditional head donor hair for transplantation to areas of need. The case presented in the photos shows the first successful body to body hair transplant.

While the loss of head hair readily attracts our attention, hair loss can happen to other areas of the body as well. Many are familiar with loss of eyebrows, or even facial hair, but there are a large number of cases of isolated patches of hair loss involving other aspects of the body. Since these areas are not usually exposed to the public, it seldom attracts our attention or is considered inconsequential and thus ignored. Since it is unusual to have hair loss in the leg areas, many observers might believe that the leg hair loss is caused by a disease or health problem. In this instance, the little fuzz of hair added to the shin gave the patient the satisfaction of not having a clearly demarcated bald patch, which may have mislead some to assume he had an underlying health concern.
