Beard / Mustache Transplantation
Beard / Mustache Transplantation
Beard and mustache transplantation is a permanent and natural solution applied in cases where facial hair, which plays a significant role in facial aesthetics, thins out or is completely lost due to various reasons. Beard and mustache are important features that define men’s facial expressions and reflect their personal style. Genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, injuries, burns, or skin conditions can prevent some men from achieving the desired density of facial hair. Such conditions can negatively impact facial aesthetics and lead to a loss of confidence.
Beard and mustache transplantation is an effective and reliable method offered by modern medicine to address these concerns. The procedure involves transplanting healthy hair follicles harvested from the donor area to areas where facial hair is sparse or missing. Hair follicles are placed in accordance with the natural direction of growth, ensuring an aesthetic and natural appearance. This minimally invasive procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and offers a quick recovery process, providing patients with a comfortable experience.
Beard / Mustache Transplantation Stages
- The first stage begins with a detailed consultation. A specialist doctor evaluates the patient's beard structure and the area where transplantation will be performed.
- The donor area is typically the region at the back of the scalp where hair follicles will be harvested, usually from the nape area. This area is prepared for surgery by shaving.
- The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method involves individually extracting hair follicles from the donor area.
- Channels are created where the hair follicles intended for transplantation into the beard or mustache area will be placed.
- The prepared hair follicles are implanted in a manner that matches the natural beard or mustache structure.
The full results of beard or mustache transplantation typically become clear within 6-12 months. During this period, the transplanted hair follicles initially shed and then start to regrow. The newly growing hair permanently establishes itself with a natural appearance. This process takes time because it involves the healing of the donor area where the hair follicles were taken and the integration of the transplanted follicles into the new area.
Patients may experience symptoms such as slight redness, crusting, and swelling in the transplanted area after beard or mustache transplantation. However, these symptoms usually disappear within a few days, marking the beginning of the healing process. During the healing process, it’s important to follow the care instructions recommended by the doctor. Especially avoid excessive rubbing of the transplanted area and protect it from the sun.
After beard or mustache transplantation, patients often experience great satisfaction with their newly restored beard or mustache. The regained facial hair enhances both aesthetic appearance and personal confidence. Patients feel more attractive and often share their satisfaction and transformation with those around them.
