Beard and Mustache Transplant

Beard and Mustache Transplant, Beard and moustache transplant have become a popular trend in recent years. Although there are minor differences, the procedure is almost similar to hair transplant with DHI. People prefer beard and moustache transplant due to many aesthetic reasons.

The main reason for the transplant is that beard and moustache hair strands are sparse. The problem is solvable by placing hair follicles to the specific parts. If an experienced specialist performs your transplantation, it is difficult to distinguish the transplanted area from other parts. 

Some people suffer from scars due to hair breaks or surgeries, while others do not like the shape of your beard or moustache. Beard and moustache transplant are available for all types of requests. 

Besides, scars and burns that may occur due to various reasons, hormonal disorders and metabolic diseases may result in hair loss on the facial area. Before deciding on beard transplantation, you should investigate the cause of the beard or moustache loss. We recommend you to wait until the age of 22 to have a hair transplant operation.

For the beard and moustache transplant, usually back of the neck is the donor area. In some cases, doctors may prefer using body hair for the donor grafts. They use the DHI method for graft collection and plantation. Usually, around 3000 hair follicles give satisfactory results for beard transplant. Whereas, 400-800 roots are sufficient for moustache transplant. A hygienic environment is crucial for a successful transplant. For this reason, all materials should be sterile.

Beard Transplant 

Beard loss is genetic for some people, but for others, various conditions may cause this loss. Many factors are affecting the frequency and hair quality of the beard. However, hormonal causes are the leading ones. The lack of hormones that will develop and intensify the hair follicle is usually due to the genetic structure.

Beard transplant by FUE method is the process of collecting a sufficient amount of hair follicles from the donor area and placing the roots into the channels in the target area in accordance with the natural angle. Although other facial areas can be donors, grafts from the nape are usually a better option for a successful transplant.

In cases where the beard is not present, the planting of 1000 to 3000 roots can be sufficient to achieve the desired appearance. However, doctors may plant more roots according to the patient’s desires. You feel no pain as you will be under local anaesthesia. There will be no scars after beard transplant thanks to micro punches. Also, there is a possibility that acne-sized cysts may form in the region as a result of placing the hair follicles deeper. These dermoid cysts are frequent complications and heal in time. 

Beard Transplant Before and After 

As the operation process, the period before and after the transplant is crucial for successful results. There are some precautions before the beard transplant and some pieces of advice you should follow after the operation.

Before Beard Transplant

Beard transplant is slightly different than hair transplant as the intensity of beards may vary from person to person. If there is a loss, doctors should consider the frequency of the beard, and harmonize the new follicles with the surrounding hair. You will be under anaesthesia during the procedure. There are three anaesthesia techniques before the beard transplant.

Types of Anesthesia

• General Anesthesia: In general anaesthesia, which is the most comprehensive type of anaesthesia, the person is completely unconscious and numb.
• Regional Anesthesia: In regional anaesthesia, the person is not asleep. He is conscious, and his senses like vision, hearing, taste and smell are functional.  
• Local Anesthesia: In small surgical operations, nurses apply this with very thin needles to a specific location. The effect lasts between 15-20 min. 

After Beard Transplant

After the beard transplant, you can return to your daily life as quickly as possible. You can wash your face 24-48 hours after the operation. Planted hair follicles appear in 2 to 3 days. There is an increase in the blood supply in the planting area, which causes acne-like small rednesses in the hair follicles for 2-3 days.

Due to the clotting of the blood coming out of the small holes, you may observe redness which can last for 4 to 6 hours according to the number of roots. These slight rednesses that lead to better nutrition of the hair follicles, usually disappear within a week.

The hair follicles experience a shock loss approximately two weeks after beard transplant. After this temporary shedding, the hair follicles grow completely within 4-8 months according to the genetic structure of the person.

Beard Transplant Cost   

Like all the aesthetic surgeries, the most frequent question for beard transplant is the cost of the procedure. It is not possible to say a fixed number like in other transplantation types.

After six months of planting the moustache, the roots completely hold on to the skin. As a result, it continues to extend in the normal cycle.
