Body Hair Transplant (BHT) via FUE Cost in Korea

Body Hair Transplant (BHT) via FUE is a specialized procedure in Korea where hair is extracted from areas such as the chest, beard, abdomen, or thighs and transplanted to the scalp or other zones with hair loss. This method is often used when scalp donor supply is limited or in cases requiring large graft numbers. Because of varying growth cycles, hair texture, and extraction difficulty, BHT typically commands a premium compared to traditional FUE.
