Hair Transplant Areas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Hair transplants<\/a> is one of the most effective treatment options for baldness. The scalp is the most common site of hair loss for which a hair transplant is indicated but it is not the only one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beard and mustache transplants are getting popular as well and so are eyebrow implants. Less commonly, hair restoration surgery is done at other hair-bearing parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a census report by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), the global market size for hair restoration surgery stood at USD 4.6 billion in the year 2019, a 10% rise compared to 2016 1<\/sup>. Follicle unit extraction (FUE) and follicle unit transplant (FUT) are the current standard surgical techniques for the most common areas of transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where on the body can a hair transplant be done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scalp is the most common area transplanted to, but with the wider availability of FUE and FUT, there is an increasing demand for hair restoration procedures on other areas of the body, particularly facial hair. A brief rundown of hair loss and its surgical treatment at various body parts is presented here. More details are available in separate articles for each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scalp hair transplant <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most common cause of scalp hair loss is androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. In men, the frontal and temporal hairlines<\/a> are the first areas affected, followed by the crown<\/a>. Hair at the back of the head is relatively preserved. Hair loss is graded as per the Norwood scale<\/a>, which gives an estimate of the number of grafts required. A transplant may be done on the forehead<\/a>, the temples<\/a>, the crown\/vertex, the whole head<\/a>, or isolated bald spots<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facial Hair transplant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The appearance of hair on the face as beard and mustache are indicators of puberty in men and an important cosmetic and social factor for a positive body image. Increasingly, men with thin beard hair<\/a>\u2014due to hair loss, bald spots, or failure to grow a full beard or mustache with age\u2014are resorting to hair transplant, with the ISHRS reporting a more than 120% rise in facial implants such as Beard transplants<\/a> and mustache <\/a>transplants between the years 2014 and 2020 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eyebrows Hair transplant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eyebrows are an important part of the face, delineating the boundaries of the forehead. Alopecia areata, an immune condition, can lead to bald spots at hair-bearing areas of the body, including the eyebrows. Eyebrow hair transplant is an option for people with thin eyebrows or with eyebrows hair loss. Recently, the American model Chrissy Teigen made headlines for undergoing an eyebrows hair transplant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other body areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People with sparse eyelashes or those with permanent eyelash hair loss can consider an eyelash transplant<\/a>. Similarly, some people with no chest hair may decide to undergo a chest hair transplant, where hair from the back of the head is transplanted onto the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Donor Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process of hair transplant involves harvesting hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into the recipient site. The donor site is selected on the basis of follicle density. Commonly selected donor sites, in order of preference, are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
