Abstract:
Body hair transplantation (BHT) is a viable option for patients with limited scalp donor reserves. Common BHT donor sites include the beard, chest, and limbs, while the clinical utility of the suprapubic region remains incompletely characterized. We describe a patient who underwent a two-stage BHT procedure, using chest donor hair in the first stage and suprapubic donor hair in the second stage. Crown hair coverage increased from 67.9% at baseline to 84.6% following BHT and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. This case report contributes semi-quantitative data on an underreported BHT donor site and highlights the need for standardized patient selection criteria and comprehensive follow-up.
