Conventional follicle harvesting techniques for hair transplantation are limited by the available scalp donor hair. The development of an innovative technique of microsurgical single follicular unit extraction has made it possible to exploit body hair grafts for scalp transplantation. This case study reports on 18 months of follow-up on a patient with extensive scalp scarring who underwent a transplantation procedure using donor chest hair. The photographically documented results show a change in the length of the chest hair measuring an average of 4 cm at transplant to 15 cm by 18 months post-transplant. The transplanted chest grafts provided an excellent cosmetic result for hair replacement.
传统的用于毛发移植的毛囊采集技术受到头皮供体毛发数量的限制。显微外科单毛囊单位提取创新技术的发展使得利用身体毛发移植到头皮成为可能。本病例研究报告了一名头皮广泛瘢痕化患者接受使用胸部供体毛发进行移植手术18个月的随访情况。照片记录的结果显示，移植时胸部毛发平均长度为4厘米，到移植后18个月时增长到了15厘米。移植的胸部毛发移植物为毛发替代提供了极佳的美容效果。
