For mustache transplantation, implanting 400-800 hair follicles is sufficient. The hair follicles used for transplantation are extracted from various parts of the body or from the back of the head. If extracted from the body, there will be no loss since the hair follicles extracted are non-significant. If extracted from the back of the head, hair will be thinned as much as the number of hair follicles at the back of the head; however, as hair grows around the donor area, no change will be noticed.
Can mustache transplantation be applied for folliculitis, scars and burn scars as well?
