Definition of BHT Hair Transplant
BHT hair transplant is a hair transplantation technique that uses hair taken from body areas other than the scalp. Hair follicles are carefully extracted and implanted on the scalp, allowing natural hair regrowth and improvement in hair density.
The main donor areas in BHT are:
- the beard
- the chest.
Most patients are good candidates for Beard BHT as the beard hair follicle is thicker.
However, it's not the same for Chest or other areas like the back, legs, armpits, or pubic region. For all other areas, the success rates of regrowth for these hair follicles are not as high as with beard or scalp hair follicles.
Procedure Process
BHT hair transplant abroad generally follows these steps:
- Initial consultation to assess the feasibility of BHT hair transplant for the patient
- Preparation of donor areas on the body (e.g., beard, chest)
- Extraction of hair follicles from the donor area
- Preparation of the recipient scalp
- Precise implantation of hair follicles on the scalp
Therapeutic Indication
BHT hair transplant is recommended for:
- People with low hair density on the scalp
- People with advanced baldness
- People whose scalp hair cannot be used as sufficient donors
Anesthesia
BHT hair transplant is generally performed under local anesthesia. This means that only the donor and recipient areas will be numbed, while the patient remains conscious during the procedure.
Duration of the Procedure
The duration of the BHT hair transplant procedure varies based on the amount of hair follicles to be transplanted, as well as the complexity of each case. In general, the procedure can take between 4 and 8 hours.
Success Statistics
Success statistics of BHT hair transplant vary depending on various factors, including the skill of the surgeon, the quality of the extracted hair follicles, and the individual characteristics of the patient. On average, success rates of BHT hair transplant are quite variable. However, the majority of patients achieve aesthetically satisfying results with a significant improvement in hair density, but their satisfaction rates greatly depend on realistic expectations.
Recovery
After BHT hair transplant, it is normal to experience slight pain, redness, and swelling in the treated area. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days, and most patients can resume their normal daily activities in about a week.
FAQ
No, the anagen phase of beard or body hair adapts slightly and changes based on clinical findings. However, the anagen phase (growth phase) never becomes as long as that of hair. The thickness of body hair does not become like hair either.
