A typical Body Hair Transplant (BHT) procedure takes 6 to 12 hours depending on the graft count and extraction complexity. Surgeons often use the FUE technique to harvest follicles from the beard or chest, requiring more precision than standard scalp-to-scalp transplants.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from top Istanbul clinics shows BHT takes 20% to 30% longer per graft than traditional transplants. While a standard FUE might move 3,500 scalp grafts in 8 hours, the same volume from the body often hits the 12-hour mark. This extra time ensures surgeons navigate the unique growth angles of body hair to maintain high follicle viability.
Patient Consensus: Patients report that 10-hour sessions are common for 3,000-graft cases. Many recommend bringing entertainment and wearing compression socks to stay comfortable during the long surgical day.
