Pubic hair transplants

Transplanted pubic hair is the latest trend in South Korea, where it is regarded as a sign of fertility. Surgeon Afschin Fatemi, from Unna in Germany, said: "In the West, women try to reduce their genital hair as much as possible, but in Korea the trend is for forestation." He said a mass of pubic hair was considered a sign of fertility, which was why many women were paying as much as ?1,700 to have hair transplanted from their heads. Fatemi added: "The structure of head and pubic hair on Asians is quite similar. The implanted hair isn`t long and rarely falls out." The operation is conducted under local anaesthetic and bandaging can be removed after just one day.
