BHT (Body Hair Transplant) or BHHT (Body Hair to Head Transplant) is hair transplantation done using the same FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, so it is also No stitch technique. It is called BHT because in this method, the donor area for hair is not the back of scalp, but some other body area. It can be beard, chest, back, stomach area, legs and arms. After harvesting grafts from any of these body areas, these are transplanted over the balding area of head.

BHT is done only in people suffering from extreme baldness, who have very less reserve or very thin hair at the back of their scalp. Thus this technique gives a big ray of hope to even those with severe (Type VI and VII) hair loss.

BHT Transplant Procedure

BHT (Body Hair Transplant) is a FUE method with only difference in the donor area. But there are few important parameters which need to be considered to see the compatibility of body hair (donor area) and scalp hair (recipient area).

Since the donor area can be any body part like beard, chest, back, stomach area, legs and arms, so the thickness, direction and curl of these hair vary considerably. Also these transplanted hair usually don’t gain the length of more than 5cm, thus one has to keep his hair trimmed accordingly after the transplant.

Benefits Of BHT

The people suffering from severe baldness, having lost their hope after getting poor results from traditional hair transplant methods, can restore their depleted hair-line by the use of BHT (Body Hair Transplantation) technique. It is no stitch technique. Though the use of BHT procedure though shows remarkable results, but the right selection of patients is very important. This technique should be reserved only for persons who have extreme baldness and insufficient hair on the back of their scalp.
