Body Hair Transplant (BHT)
Use healthy hair from the beard, chest, back, or other body areas to add density and coverage when scalp donor hair is limited, with carefully planned FUE graft extraction and placement.
What Is Body Hair Transplant?
A Body Hair Transplant (BHT) is a hair restoration procedure in which follicular units are harvested from non-scalp areas of the body, such as the beard, chest, back, abdomen, arms, or legs, and transplanted into areas that need more hair.
BHT is performed using the FUE technique, as individual grafts must be extracted one at a time. It is most often used to supplement scalp donor hair, and is selected after assessing the quality, density, and growth characteristics of the available body hair.
Is Body Hair Transplant Right For You?
A body hair transplant may be considered for people with advanced hair loss and limited scalp donor supply, people who need extra grafts after a previous transplant, or those who need coverage for scars. Suitability depends on the quality and density of body hair, the recipient area, and the desired result.
- Advanced hair loss with limited scalp donor hair
- Insufficient scalp donor supply for the planned coverage
- A previous hair transplant and a need for additional grafts
- Scars on the scalp that need coverage
- Moustache loss caused by scars, burns, or trauma
- Adequate beard or body hair of suitable length and thickness
- Hair on the body that is similar in colour and texture to your scalp hair
- Realistic expectations about density and growth
Targeted Body Hair Restoration For Different Concerns
Body hair can be used as a supplementary donor source, planned around specific needs.
Beard Donor Grafts
Beard hair is generally the closest match to scalp hair in thickness and is often the preferred body donor source.
Chest & Torso Donor Grafts
Hair from the chest, abdomen, or back may be considered to add extra grafts where suitable.
Crown & Mid-Scalp Density
Add supporting density to thinning areas when scalp donor hair is limited.
Scar & Gap Coverage
Help cover selected scars or small areas where additional coverage is needed.
How Body Hair Transplant Works
Why Consider Body Hair Transplant?
A body hair transplant can provide an additional donor option when scalp hair alone cannot meet the grafts required. By using body hair from carefully selected areas, the plan can add density and coverage that might otherwise not be possible. Body hair is usually combined with scalp grafts, with each type placed where it works best for a natural-looking result.

What You Should Know Before Treatment
Body hair transplantation is a surgical hair-restoration procedure and may involve:
- Body hair has a shorter growth phase, so it may not grow as long as scalp hair.
- It is less dense, so it usually supplements scalp grafts rather than replacing them.
- Graft growth and survival vary between individuals and donor areas.
- Hair calibre, colour, texture, and direction must match the recipient area.
- BHT uses FUE only, and donor areas are trimmed before extraction.
- Donor areas may show tiny pinpoint healing marks.
- Not everyone has suitable body hair. Very fine, light, or sparse hair may not work.
- Some patients may need more than one procedure.

FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a procedure in which hair follicles are harvested from the beard, chest, back, or other body areas and transplanted to areas that need more hair, most commonly the scalp.
People with limited scalp donor hair, advanced hair loss, or a need for extra grafts after previous surgery may be considered, provided they have suitable body hair.
The beard is commonly preferred, followed by areas such as the chest, back, abdomen, arms, or legs, depending on hair quality and individual assessment.
Body hair generally has a shorter growth phase, so it may not reach the same length as scalp hair. For this reason, it is often combined with scalp grafts.
Natural appearance depends on graft selection, donor-recipient compatibility, placement angle, direction, spacing, and overall planning.
Initial transplanted hairs may shed before new growth begins. Visible growth can start around 3–4 months, with the overall result developing over approximately 12–18 months.
FUE extraction can leave tiny pinpoint marks in donor areas. Their visibility depends on the individual, the area, and the number of grafts taken.
