beard transplant

Beard Transplantation is a surgical procedure in which harvested donor hair follicles are transplanted to the face to create a fuller beard or thicker moustache. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that produces natural-looking results that are permanent.

What is beard transplant?

Beard transplants are popular with men who are self-conscious about uneven beards and moustaches. The procedure is also performed for those who wish to correct uneven beard density or restore facial hair following medical treatments such as chemotherapy.

Beard transplants are performed under local anaesthetic and the procedure usually takes 4-6 hours. A good candidate for the procedure should have healthy skin and sufficient density in the donor areas from which hair can be taken and transplanted to the recipient areas. After transplantation, patients should be very careful about caring for their grafts. Specific instructions about washing, medications and sun protection should be followed to ensure optimal and long-lasting results.

Process of a beard transplant

Beard transplantation is a cosmetic procedure to add or restore hair growth to a beard. During the surgery itself, a surgeon takes healthy, full hair follicles from one part of the scalp and implants them into the area of the beard where it’s thinning or patchy. The procedure usually takes between 4-6 hours and the patient is usually awake throughout. The patient is then asked to return for a follow-up appointment, usually a week later. It usually takes up to two months for the results to become fully visible, as the implanted hair usually sheds before new hair starts to grow. It’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to promote complete healing and satisfaction with the results. Beard transplant procedure steps:

  • The first step for the patient is to book a consultation with a surgeon to discuss motives and expectations for the surgery, review medical history and learn about the procedure itself.
  • The patient’s scalp is then shaved in the donor area and any visible hair is removed from the beard.
  • The surgeon then removes healthy hair follicles from the donor area – usually the back of the neck – using the Single Strip or FUE technique.
  • The surgeon then makes tiny incisions in the beard area and transplants the transplanted follicles into the area.
  • The patient will need to rest for a few days and return to the clinic for a follow-up appointment.
  • The transplanted follicles will start to shed and grow within a few weeks. Final results are usually visible within a few months and can last up to a year.

Types of beard transplant techniques

Beard transplantation, or facial hair transplantation, is a relatively new cosmetic surgery procedure used to restore a broad, full beard style and reverse hair loss in men. Depending on the patient’s needs and desires, the different types of beard transplant techniques include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) beard transplant, the sutureless technique, the traditional strip technique, or a combination of the techniques.

In FUE techniques, individual hair follicles are taken from a donor area and then transplanted one at a time to the desired area of the face. Depending on the patient’s expectations and needs, hair follicles may be taken from other areas of the body, such as the chest or back, while the stitchless technique involves making tiny incisions in the skin so that the extracted hair follicles can be easily inserted. The traditional strip technique involves taking a strip of skin from a donor area and dissecting it into individual hair follicles before transplanting them to the area of the face where the beard is desired. This technique is a more invasive procedure and is usually reserved for patients who require extensive beard restoration or a more youthful looking beard.

Risks and potential complications of beard transplant

The risks and potential complications of beard transplantation are similar to those of any surgical procedure. Risks include:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Bruising
  • Unfavorable scarring
  • Nerve damage
  • Allergic reaction
  • Poor response to the procedure
  • Numbness or itching of the skin

In rare cases, beard transplantation can cause complications such as infection and bleeding, as with any invasive procedure. After the procedure, the transplanted hair may initially fall out and then begin to grow back. It’s also possible for the body to reject the donor hair, which means the new beard may not look as desired and the transplant may not last as long as desired. Careful aftercare should be followed to avoid any potential complications.

Beard transplant before and after

Beard transplantation is a procedure used to restore facial hair in men who have lost it. This procedure has become increasingly popular in recent years and can be used to restore the appearance of a full beard that has been lost due to scarring, poor grooming, genetics or age.

Before the procedure, the patient must undergo a number of pre-operative tests and the doctor must assess the patient’s desired outcome. The patient will also need to decide how many grafts to have and where to place them for the best aesthetic result. The patient is then given a local anaesthetic and a small incision is made. The follicles are then removed from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and transplanted to the recipient area. Following a successful transplant, the patient can expect to see some growth within 3-4 months and full results within 8-12 weeks. The results are permanent and there should be little to no scarring. The transplanted hair will look, grow and feel completely natural.

FAQ

What is a Beard Transplant?

A Beard Transplant is a procedure in which healthy hair follicles are taken from the scalp or another donor area and transplanted into the sparse or bald areas of the beard or moustache. The procedure is most commonly performed on men who have experienced facial hair loss due to genetics, scarring from an injury, burns or skin conditions such as lichen planus. The doctor performing the transplant will usually use a strip harvesting technique, where a strip of the scalp is removed and the hairs are taken from this strip before being implanted in the recipient area. The procedure can be done using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) techniques.

How much is a Beard Transplant?

The cost of a Beard Transplant depends on a number of factors including the number of grafts required, the desired look, the location of the transplant and the experience of the doctor performing the transplant. On average, a beard transplant can cost between $2,500 and $7,500. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced doctor to explore realistic options and associated costs.

K
L
How long does a Beard Transplant last?

A Beard Transplant usually lasts for the lifetime of the patient, with average results lasting up to 10 years or more. Once the beard implant has been performed, there is no maintenance required and the implanted hairs usually grow and behave in the same way as the patient's own hair, meaning that there should be no visible signs of the beard implant once healing is complete. In addition, the patient can shave or trim the implanted beard as desired as it will not be affected by the procedure.

K
L
Are Beard Transplants risky?

Beard Transplantation is considered a relatively safe procedure as long as the patient is in good health and the procedure is performed by a licensed, experienced surgeon. The risks associated with the procedure are similar to any other hair transplant, such as infection, bleeding, swelling and scarring. However, the success of the procedure is highly dependent on the age and health of the patient and the experience of the surgeon. As with any surgery, there is always a risk of complications.

K
L
How painful is a Beard Transplant?

Beard Transplants can range from mildly uncomfortable to very painful, depending on the individual and their pain threshold, although this is usually at the mild to moderate end of the pain scale. In most cases, discomfort is managed with local anaesthetics or non-narcotic painkillers, and patients may or may not need to take time off work or other commitments to recover. In addition, the recovery time for a beard transplant is usually 1-2 weeks, with results visible after about 2 months.

K
L
What is the best age for a Beard Transplant?

The best age for a Beard Transplant is between the ages of 30 and 40. This is when the hormones associated with beard growth are at their peak, making the procedure more successful. In addition, a beard transplant at this age can produce a more natural-looking result due to the patient's more mature facial structure. Those who wait too long to have a beard transplant may find that they don't get the desired results due to changes in the hair follicle structures, something that younger patients don't have to worry about.
