WHAT IS BODY HAIR TRANSPLANTATION (BHT)?
Traditional hair transplantation is taking donor grafts from the rear of the patient's head. In some instances, when the number of grafts that can be harvested safely from the donor area traditionally used isn't enough for our needs, the hair restoration specialist in Istanbul can utilize other donor sites to harvest additional hair grafts. This will increase the number of grafts transplanted, which allows us to take on a larger portion of the region affected by the loss of hair or achieve a higher amount of transplants.
Transplantation of body hair is more complex because it requires anaesthesia before being applied to other regions. Grafts derived from these regions are not appropriate for use on the hairline due to cosmetic reasons. Instead, body hair grafts are commonly used to improve the scalp's volume and the crown.

CHEST
In some instances, donor grafts can be taken from the chest region. This procedure isn't painful and can be performed using local anaesthesia.
