    Glossary Occipital Donor Area

    region at the back of the scalp used for hair transplants

    The Occipital Donor Area refers to the region at the back of the scalp, near the base of the skull, where hair is typically harvested for hair transplantation procedures. This area is often chosen because the hair follicles here are generally more resistant to balding and provide a stable source of healthy hair for grafting.
