Can Hair Transplant Surgery Use Someone Else’s Hair Follicles? Yes or No?!

Hello

This is Dana Plastic Surgery!

If you are considering hair transplant surgery, one question you may have asked at least once is: Can someone else’s hair follicles be transplanted?

In this post, Dana Plastic Surgery will clearly explain whether that is possible or not!!

Hair transplant surgery using someone else’s hair follicles?

Fact-check time prepared by Dana Plastic Surgery!! Can hair transplant surgery be performed by transplanting someone else’s hair follicles?!

In fact, among the patients who visit the clinic, we often receive questions about whether it is possible to donate someone else’s hair and have a hair transplant.

In particular, many people are also curious about whether it is possible to receive hair from a family member and transplant it.

In the case of organ transplantation, surgery is performed to transplant an organ needed by the patient. However, after the transplant surgery, the patient must continue taking immune-suppressing medication.

This is because after an organ transplant, if the immune cells in our body recognize the transplanted organ from outside as a foreign substance, they trigger a foreign-body reaction and attack it, causing inflammation and making the organ unusable. That is why immune-suppressing medication must be taken!

However, taking immunosuppressants can slightly weaken the immune system.

Although there is the disadvantage of having to keep taking immunosuppressants, organs such as the liver and kidneys are essential to our body, so transplantation is still performed even if medication must be taken.

Therefore, hair transplant surgery using someone else’s hair follicles can be performed, but since we believe that continuously taking immunosuppressants is not a better option, Dana Plastic Surgery does not particularly recommend this method.

Does parting affect hair loss?

When talking with patients at the clinic, some say that because of the nature of their job, they have to keep their hair neat, so they keep parting it on one side and worry that it looks sparse.

In general, simply maintaining a part on one side does not cause hair loss.

However, if you keep tightly tying and fixing your hair for a long period of time, it places physical pressure on the hair, which can weaken the roots, make the hair thinner, and reduce hair volume.

In that case, traction alopecia may occur, in which the roots and follicles separate and the hair falls out, so caution is needed.

However, because traction alopecia is not hair loss caused by genetics or environmental factors, it can be sufficiently prevented if you do not continue the causing behavior!

Today, we looked into a question many people ask before undergoing hair transplant surgery: whether someone else’s hair follicles can be transplanted.
