Beard and mustache transplantation is a procedure designed for men experiencing hair loss in these areas or those unable to grow facial hair. Just like the hair on your head, a beard and mustache significantly contribute to a man’s appearance. This procedure is an ideal solution for those affected by testosterone-related hair loss or for men seeking a fuller, more regular-looking beard or mustache.
Beard and mustache transplantation is becoming increasingly popular as hair transplantation becomes more accessible and affordable, particularly in Turkey. This page provides all the essential information about beard and mustache implantation.
Facial hair is a crucial component of a masculine image. During puberty, it is expected that a beard and mustache will develop with appropriate density. But what if they are naturally sparse or lost due to injury? Advances in hair transplantation techniques have made beard and mustache implantation a viable option, allowing men to achieve their desired facial hair look.
Throughout history and even today, men have sought various solutions for beards that fail to grow due to genetic or other reasons. This ongoing issue often leads men to opt for beard transplants as the most effective means of achieving a full, thick beard.
Beard transplants, like hair transplants, utilize permanent and painless techniques. These procedures are not only painless but also highly successful, enabling many men to transform their sparse beards into lush, historical beards.
As with any procedure, deciding to undergo a beard transplant requires careful consideration and consultation with a doctor. During this initial stage, the doctor assesses the patient’s facial shape and characteristics, explaining how the beard transplant will be tailored to the individual’s facial structure. The doctor also outlines the regions to be transplanted and the specific method to be used.
Based on the information provided, the patient and doctor reach a decision regarding the beard transplant. This includes discussing the number of grafts needed and the cost of the procedure. Once these details are agreed upon, the beard transplant process is set in motion.
As with any medical procedure, beard transplantation involves certain temporary but natural abnormalities in the treated areas. Initially, the transplant area may exhibit blood stains. These stains may not completely disappear after the first face washing but typically vanish by the second wash.
Another common occurrence is the increased blood supply to the lower part of the beard area, leading to hematoma and redness. This reaction is beneficial as it aids in the strengthening and permanence of the transplanted beard. The redness generally lasts for about two weeks and fades towards the end of this period.
Finally, the transplanted beard hairs will initially shed and fall out. This is a normal part of the process, and within 6-7 months, the cleaned area will show the growth of permanent facial hair, resulting in a full, natural-looking beard.
Today, various methods are employed for beard transplantation to achieve the desired appearance. The first method introduced was the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique. Initially used for both hair and beard transplantation, FUT involves taking a strip of skin from the donor area, usually the nape, and transplanting hair follicles to the beard area. However, this method often results in redness, stains, and severe pain at the donor site, making it less popular.
The more advanced and widely preferred method is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Developed with improved technology, FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the beard area. This technique minimizes redness, stains, and severe pain in the donor area, including the nape. Consequently, FUE beard transplantation is the method of choice for individuals seeking a painless and effective solution for a fuller beard.
Consultation
The procedure begins with doctor examination as all transplantation operations. Two main things are considered in consultation. First, the need of recipient area and secondly the number of grafts that can be gained from the donor area.
Operation
Beard hair growing directions are taken into consideration during the procedure for a successful natural looking result.
There are two main parts of the beard transplant procedure like other hair transplants; respectively graft extracting and the implementation of grafts to the recipient area. Donor hair will be taken from the area between the two ears on the back of the neck and will be implanted one by one with Dr.Serkan Aygın’s method of FUE.
Cleaning & PRP
Day after the operation, patients get Cleaning and PRP treatment at the Clinic. Before you leave the clinic you will be given specific instructions on points to take into account regarding the post-operative period and will also be also given a demonstration of how to wash your hair.
