Hi Dr. Rassman, I have couple of questions, first questions is, how much does it cost to have hair transplanted from you head to your chest. 3 inches above my umbilical area and down is very hairy,but above that area is completely hairless, it looks like I been shaving. The other question is, does it hurt. Do you have to make an incision or it is done with needles. Will the hair stay forever in that area and will continue to grow. Please respond ASAP I am really serious about having that done. Thank you
Hair can be transplanted from the head to the chest. We actually do this type of procedure for women that want more pubic hair (usually those who lose their pubic hair with aging). The costs are directly related to the area covered and the number of grafts placed at the site. It would run between 500-1000 grafts to cover the area that you defined. The hair will grow long (like on the scalp), so you may have to cut it. If your hair is coarse, it may not look right, but finer hair should do fine. Pain is minimal (like a typical hair transplant), although it does depend on what you consider painful.
