Treatment Overview
The Hybrid Body Hair Transplant (Hybrid BHT) is a combined donor technique that utilizes both scalp hair and body hair—such as beard, chest, leg, or arm hair—to achieve maximum density, coverage, and natural blending.
This strategic approach is ideal for patients who have moderate to advanced hair loss, limited scalp donor availability, or require large graft numbers for a complete restoration.
Korean surgeons specialize in multi-donor integration, ensuring each hair type is placed in the ideal zone for natural, balanced results.
Purpose & Benefits
The purpose of Hybrid BHT is to optimize hair restoration by combining the strengths of different donor sources.
Key benefits include:
- Expands total graft availability significantly.
- Provides high density by using strong beard hair for volume.
- Creates natural softness using scalp and finer body grafts.
- Ideal for restoring multiple scalp zones in a single session.
- Perfect for patients who need 3,000–6,000+ grafts.
- Delivers a natural look with balanced texture and density.
Ideal Candidates
You may be an excellent candidate if you:
- Have moderate to severe hair loss (Norwood 4–7).
- Have limited scalp donor hair or poor donor density.
- Need multiple scalp regions restored (hairline, mid-scalp, crown).
- Want high-density results using strategic donor blending.
- Previously had a hair transplant and now require additional grafts.
- Have strong beard or body donor areas available.
Possible Risks & Complications
Hybrid BHT is safe, but may include:
- Temporary redness or small scabs across donor zones.
- Slight variation in texture between scalp and body grafts.
- Mild discomfort depending on the number of donor areas.
- Rare ingrown hairs in body extraction zones.
- Longer procedure time due to multi-donor harvesting.
Techniques & Technology Used
- Micro-FUE Extraction: Ultra-fine punches (0.6–1.0 mm) used on scalp and body areas.
- Multi-Donor Integration:
- Scalp hair → hairline, temples, front zones
- Beard hair → crown & mid-scalp for density
- Chest/leg hair → blending zones
- Density-Balancing Strategy: Ensures natural layering and thickness distribution.
- Precision Graft Sorting: Categorizes follicles based on thickness and curl.
- Angle & Direction Control: Maintains natural scalp flow and uniformity.
- Optional PRP Therapy: Enhances graft survival and accelerates healing.
Treatment Process in Korea
- Comprehensive Consultation — Detailed evaluation of scalp donor, beard donor, and body hair availability.
- Customized Design & Mapping — Surgeon develops a multi-donor graft distribution plan.
- Donor Area Preparation — Scalp and chosen body zones are trimmed and sterilized.
- Micro-FUE Extraction — Sequential harvesting from scalp, beard, chest, or other areas.
- Graft Sorting & Hydration — All grafts categorized to match specific scalp zones.
- Implantation Stage —
- Scalp hair for natural front framing
- Beard hair for dense mid-scalp or crown
- Body hair for subtle blending and transitions
- After-Care Instruction — Tailored guidance for multiple donor zones and scalp recovery.
Recovery & After-Care
- Healing varies depending on number of donor zones.
- Scalp redness improves within 3–7 days.
- Body donor areas heal in 2–5 days.
- Avoid sweating, friction, or shaving body donor zones temporarily.
- Transplanted grafts shed in 3–6 weeks (normal).
- New growth begins 3–4 months post-procedure.
- Full, blended results appear around 10–14 months.
Results & Longevity
- Strong, dense, and natural-looking hair restoration.
- Balanced texture created through strategic donor blending.
- Permanent growth once grafts adapt to scalp blood supply.
- Ideal for large restorations requiring multiple donor zones.
- Great long-term outcomes even for patients with low scalp donor density.
