Over the past four years Dr Bosnich has performed BHT (Body Hair Transplants), where he will use the FUE (Follicular Extraction technique) to remove chest, abdominal, back and beard hair for transplantation on to the scalp. BHT is a highly refined and precise technique, which can be performed manually or with an automated device. It is possible to extract from 500-1000 body hairs in a day.
At Newin Institute, Dr Rhett Bosnich tends to use BHT for infilling areas on the scalp when there is little of no scalp hair left to use. He will also occasionally use it to transplant into scars. Whilst BHT isn’t the most common form of hair transplant performed at Newin Institute, Dr Bosnich believes this technique and having the skills to perform it, as there are some patients who have no other options left.
At Newin Institute, Dr Rhett Bosnich consults with all the patients himself to determine their suitability for any form of hair transplant surgery. However, it is particularly important that he spend a great deal of time with a patient to explain the process and possibility of BHT.
