In this instance, Hanginginthere has got the math right. The patient has excellent yield all factors considered.

The obvious indication for body hair is in repair patients that have run out of head donor hair for their repair work. These patients have an absolute lack of donor. A perfect example is this patient:

Another indication is in extensively bald individuals. These patients could be said to have a relative lack of donor supply, because the number of available head grafts would not meet the demand of the entire NW area. In these patients, the hybrid approach could be benefitial as is the case in patient KF.

The benefit of the hybrid approach in extensively bald indivuals (such as KF)is the ability to reasonably restore the entire NW6 and 7 areas (including the crown) before running out of donor hair, and without compromising the head donor cosmetically (scarring, coverage etc). This would have been impossible in the average patient using head hair alone. With head hair and to some extent beard hair as a foundation, body hair serves as a filler to reinforce density. Body Hair Transplant (BHT) could take 1-2 years to fully manifest. Even in its full glory however, it compares to the average head derived graft in 2-3: 1 ratio (advantage head). For beard hair, the ratio is closer to 2-2.5:1 ratio (advantage head). These are average figures...Individual variations can and do occur.

Because of the hybrid approach adopted in this patient (KF), Even with this much coverage at 9 months, he still has a head donor that is still barely touched with potentially 4000 extractable grafts, with another 3000-4000 from the beard, and thousands more from the body. Not a far cry from what we had hoped to achieve going into the surgery.
