Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 5 Administrators Share Posted September 5 In general, back, arm, stomach hair is inferior to beard and chest. It also doesn’t grow as long. Keep that in mind, unless you plan on keeping a short buzz cut, it’s not viable. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Approach Posted September 6 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6 On 9/5/2024 at 5:51 AM, Al - Moderator said: You don’t have to do it that way. I believe you are planning on a two surgery approach. If that’s the case then you could, for example, do the front half on surgery 1 with beard grafts and whatever scalp grafts you have. At the end of that surgery try placing some back grafts in an area of your crown where you haven’t had any other grafts placed. When you go back a year later you’ll be able to see how well those back grafts worked. If they didn’t grow then you may only be able to get a small session with your remaining beard grafts into the crown. If the back grafts did grow then you can get more aggressive on this 2nd surgery and not only fill in the crown but maybe add more density to the front half and perhaps lower the hairline slightly if you have enough grafts. Al, this makes a LOT of sense! And, it will save an additional trip to Brazil. Ty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Matthias Posted September 10 Regular Member Share Posted September 10 Maybe OT but have you looked into synthetic hair as an alternative?
