Beard Transplant

After adolescence, the hair growth on the body of men increases intensively. The increase in the beard area also starts after this period. Some people may not have an increase in hair in the beard area genetically, while in some people with a normal beard, local cavities may occur in the beard area due to external factors (such as impact/injury, surgical scars, ringworm).

Beard transplant; It is the process of transporting the hair follicles taken from the healthy donor area with the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, as in hair transplantation, to the areas needed in the beard area.

What Are the Causes of Beard Shedding?

Beards and moustaches are significant for men in terms of aesthetic appearance. In a healthy individual, loss of the existing beard may occur after adolescence. The reason for this may be hormonal disturbances, as well as external factors, as a result of wounds or burns on the faces of the people, hair loss may occur in the beard area. In spills caused by burns or injuries, operation planning is very important because those areas are harder and the fat layer is thinner than normal tissue.

To Whom Is Beard Transplantation Applied?

If the beard deficiency of the person to be transplanted is not hormonal, puberty development is expected to end so that the application can be made at this point. As the development process in men generally ends at the age of 22, it is better to plan beard transplantation for people who have reached this age. Experts state that younger people still have time to grow a beard and that no medical procedure is needed at this age.

What is the Post-Beard Transplant Process?

Beard transplantation is a procedure performed under local anaesthesia as in hair transplantation and there is no ache or pain after the operation. As the face area is very active, great care should be taken on the first day. As the transplanted grafts will dry out the next day, we can return to our daily life. The answer to the question of when the redness will go away after beard transplantation, which patients usually wonder about, will be 4-5 days after the operation.
