Body to Head Hair Transplant
What is Body to Head Hair Transplant?
The implications of body hair transplantation are remarkable. For decades a large population of hair loss sufferers has been turned away as poor hair transplant candidates due to severe baldness. It was impossible to achieve a successful hair transplant without enough donor hair for global coverage over the scalp. Body hair to head transplant opens today’s technology to a virtually limitless amount of donor hair, eliminating this problem. Through BHT, hair can be harvested from the chest and back.

A Body-to-Head Hair Transplant (BHT) is an advanced hair restoration technique where hair follicles are extracted from body areas (chest, beard, legs, or arms) and transplanted to the scalp. This method is ideal for patients with:
Limited scalp donor hair (due to extensive baldness)
Thick body hair that matches scalp hair texture
Desire for maximum coverage when traditional donor areas are exhausted
How It Works:
Donor Selection – Hair is carefully harvested from dense body areas (typically beard or chest).
FUE Extraction – Follicles are removed individually to minimize scarring.
Implantation – Grafts are placed strategically on the scalp for natural growth.
Key Benefits:
- Expands donor supply – Ideal for cases, where baldness area is high
- No visible scars – Minimally invasive FUE technique
- Natural results – Blends seamlessly with existing hair
Best for: Patients who have undergone previous transplants or have insufficient scalp donor hair.
Yes, body hair can be successfully transplanted to the scalp in many cases, but its suitability depends on several factors:
Best Candidates for Body Hair Transplants:
- Thick, coarse body hair (beard/chest hair blends best with scalp hair)
- Patients with limited scalp donor supply
Those needing supplemental grafts after traditional FUE
The success rate of Body-to-Head Transplants (BHT) typically ranges between 70-85% when performed by experienced surgeons. Here’s what impacts the results:
Key Factors Affecting Success:
✔ Donor Area (Best to Worst Survival Rates):
Beard Hair (80-85% success) – Closest to scalp hair in texture
Chest Hair (75-80% success) – Good for bulk density
Leg/Arm Hair (70-75% success) – Used as supplemental grafts
✔ Surgeon’s Expertise – Proper extraction/implantation is critical
✔ Patient’s Aftercare – Follows post-op instructions, affects graft survival
The cost of body to head hair transplant is also calculated graft wise at Looks Studio, but comparatively it is higher than normal Hair transplant as it needs additional care and Expert Surgeons complete attention
