These patients may have had prior scalp transplantation and require repair but do not have sufficient scalp donor follicles remaining. Other patients will have these hairs mixed with scalp hairs to produce a greater density of hair on the bald scalp. Follicular unit excision (FUE) is preferred for body and beard follicle harvesting. Not all body hair is suitable for transplantation. Only hairs that are similar in appearance and behavior to scalp hair are suitable for transplantation to the scalp. The best nonscalp sources are the beard and anterior torso. Hairs from other body sites may be used for transplantation to the eyebrows. The standard techniques of FUE harvesting and anesthesia must be modified from those used in scalp harvesting to be safe and effective. With proper patient selection and technique, a significant cosmetic benefit can be achieved from these procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1739242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,20]],"date-time":"2021-12-20T23:43:35Z","timestamp":1640043815000},"page":"463-470","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Using Nonscalp Hair in Scalp Hair Restoration\u2014Theory and Execution"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Robert H.","family":"True","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"True and Dorin Medical Group, New York, New York, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"417","volume-title":"FUE from the Beard and Body","author":"R True","year":"2016","edition":"11th ed.
