(National) June 15, 2004 - Hair transplants are no longer limited to receding (or re-seeding) hairlines. Doctors are now able to use a new technique to transplant follicles to any area a patient want to be more hirsute.

Overplucking is to blame for Cristina Canella's sparse eyebrows. Dr. Jeffrey Epstein says, a hair restoration expert, took hair follicles from her head and transplanted them into her eyebrows, "The look is a thicker eyebrow, so, while some of these women 30 years ago, 20 years ago when they were in their 20, plucked their eyebrows out, now they're desiring to have more natural looking eyebrows."

Because it's such a small area, eyebrow transplants are hard to do, "Each graft needs to be placed precisely into the exact position, so that the hairs don't grow straight out. Rather, they grow flat."

Dr. Epstein says goatees are tricky, too, "The nice thing about beard transplant is that similar to scalp the hairs keep growing. They need to be trimmed, so when we take the hair from the scalp and put them in the beard they continue to grow as the normal beard hair would grow."

And, while most men these days are removing chest hair, one patient had hair from the back of his head transplanted to his chest, "These are the days when much more guys are interested in laser hair removal than hair replacement... However, there still are some ... men and women that desire more hair in areas that they weren't born with or that they lost."

A transplant can cost between $2500 and $4000 depending on the look you want to achieve. For more information contact your physician.
