What can be the other Donor Area for Hair Transplant?

Posted by Shreya Avenues on May 20th, 2019

A lot of hair loss patients visit the Avenues clinic for hair transplant in Gujarat and have extraordinary results. If you are not aware of the term hair transplant surgery, we would like to tell you something special about the surgery because the prior knowledge of the surgery is important before you undergo the treatment.

The special and mostly unknown part of the surgery is the donor area. It is a well-known fact that hair transplant is a surgical procedure and the experts remove the hairs from one place and transplant all the hair grafts to the recipient area.

The main point to consider is that the surgeons do not use any part of the scalp as donor site but they take hairs from only the back and sides of the scalp. The back and sides of the scalp are called donor sites because the hairs grown in this part are baldness resistant. It means male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia does not affect the hairs of this area. Therefore, the surgeon only chooses this area for the surgery and the hairs do not fall out after the surgery. Usually, the results you get after the surgery are completely natural.

The Importance of Donor Site:

The surgeon has to use baldness resistant hairs for the surgery because the patients demand stable results after the surgery. As mentioned above, a certain area of the back is baldness resistant and the surgeon must use the hairs of this area. It means the thickness and density of this area is a vital factor for the success of the surgery.

Can we use other Body Parts as Donor Sites?

This is an important question. You should note that you cannot get the hair follicles from the other person but it is possible to borrow the hairs from the body parts. There are several hairy parts in the body like chest, beard, mustaches, and eyebrows.

The surgeon may use all these areas if the quality of the donor site is not satisfactory.

This procedure is called body hair transplant. Body hair transplant has two meanings. In one sense, this surgery can restore the hairs of different body parts like beard and mustaches. We are talking about the second sense. In this procedure, the surgeon borrows from the hairy parts of the body and transplant the hairs to the bald areas of the scalp.

Generally, the surgeon has to consider several factors before the surgery because the hairs growing on the body parts are quite different from the hairs of the scalp.

To provide good results, the surgeon must consider the angle, texture, color and other qualities of the hairs of body parts.

We can say, checking the candidacy is an important part of the surgery just like the hair transplant surgery.

Therefore, if the patients do not have a high – quality donor site, they still have a golden chance to have a hair transplant in Gujarat. However, it is always nice to have a strong donor area.
