Can you transplant someone else's hair into your own? It's a question we've been told many times - and now we're going to answer it!
Transplanting something from another person requires eating medications so that the body does not repel the foreign organ - or in our case, hair follicles.The medicine makes one very susceptible to infection and for this reason, hair transplants with groups of hair follicles are not performed (grafts) from another person.
Can grafts be taken from a close relative?
Even if you have an identical twin, we do not perform hair transplants where we transplant the hair from them to yourself. Thus, it does not matter how closely related you are.Why we advise against and not transplant another person's grafts is then it is not worth the risk because you become very susceptible to infection from the medication. Transplanting a vital organ is worth the risk, but not with hair.
Is it possible to remove hair from other places than the head?
We carry out hair transplants where we transplant hair from the beard or chest. What you should keep in mind is that the hair follicles differ in length and character from the hair on the head, and they do not change with a transplant. In addition, the survival rate of hair follicles in the beard or chest is slightly lower than the hair in the neck. Therefore, they are worse donation areas although it's doable when you don't have enough hair at the back of your head.
