I`ve been reading for some time the subject of replacing extracted scalp grafts with body hair to minimise the impact of the missing hair.
If any FUE clinics could answer the following.
Is a body hair graft/follicle/bulb the same size as one taken from the scalp?
Does the size vary from different parts of the body,ie leg,arm,back,beard.
If body grafts are smaller,does a larger punch need to be used for extraction so that there is enough surrounding tissue so that the graft will fit snugly into the scalp recipient site.Otherwise it would pop out i would imagine.
I`ll probably think of more questions if anyone answers.
Thanks bm.
