Beard Transplant


Beard transplantation is a procedure that has begun to experience more demand in recent years. This is done by transplanting the hair follicles taken from the scalp to places where hair is sparse in the beard and moustache of the men.

Beard transplantation can be done in hairless areas that are this way due to genetics or trauma, burns, and infections. The beard is not like hair. Everybody has different density. Therefore, beard transplantation is done differently for everyone. This procedure is completed within a few hours under local anaesthesia. Patients can obtain natural-looking beards without feeling pain. In the planning for beard transplantation, the condition of the patient is evaluated and the hair roots collected from the nape region are separated and implanted to the beard region.

Many of the patients who undergo beard transplantation complain of the problem of sparse beards. Care is taken to ensure that the hormones of the patients have reached a certain level in order to perform the transplantation. Therefore, we can say that beard transplantation can be done from the age of 20-22. Apart from this, people who like the appearance of long beard may want to undergo a beard transplant to complete their missing and irregular beard. In other words, beard transplant is a feasible process for those who have no beard and those with a sparse beard.


Beard for men is like an accessory on the face


The importance of beard for men makes it an integral part of their appearance. A man with a desirable beard is also happy with his life. However, this satisfaction is not always possible. Beards can become a major source of trouble for men when they are not at the desired density or when they never come out. In society, men are seen with beards, which affects the men’s approach towards their own beard.

There can be a variety of reasons behind this problem. The appearance of beards is related to male hormones. It could be caused by genetic factors, diseases, sometimes accidents, scars, etc. Even puberty acne can have an effect on this. This can become a considerable problem for men who care about their beard. Because in our society, beard is considered as an image symbolizing masculinity.

Long beard styles, which has become widespread among young people in recent years, may also become impossible for those who have scarcity in their beards. This can lead to serious psychological distress in men. Normally, sparseness or gaps in the bears cause no health problems. In fact, this is an aesthetic concern. However, for those who make this a problem, it may be possible to experience mental problems. Here, beard transplant can be seen as a solution to this problem. This procedure offers permanent solutions to men with beard problems.


How is beard transplantation performed?


Similar to hair transplantation, the hair follicles taken from another area from the body during transplantation are transplanted to the problem area in the beard. Thanks to this aesthetic procedure, beard transplantation can be done in those who have no beards or those with a sparse beard.

With the local anaesthesia administered during beard transplantation, the procedure is performed without any pain. Since FUE technique is used, beard transplantation is performed very comfortably. With this technique, follicles extracted from a more dense donor area are implanted in the beard area.

If there are only regional losses, the density of the beard around will be evaluated and a plan will be made. Around 1000-3000 hair follicles can be implanted by adjusting the limit and frequency according to each patient’s wishes. In a fully missing beard, 100 roots in his desired region, 400 roots in the chin and moustache area, a total of 1000 hair roots, can make a difference.


Things to consider when undergoing a beard transplantation


The hair follicles to be implanted should be suitable for the beard because the hair roots in the beard area are not similar to the hair. As the hairs are usually thinner, the follicles extracted should be suitable. Therefore, the hair roots to be extracted from the neck in the beard region are more preferred. With the hair follicles in this region, a natural appearance can be created. Also, the nape area is suitable for the extraction of the hair follicles required for beard transplantation. But the priority is always the neck area.

Hair roots to be used in beard transplantation should be single. In other words, the hair follicles to be taken from the neck should be separated and then implanted. This is because the natural hair follicles in the beard area are always single. The double, triple hair roots look very coarse on the beard.

In this way, hair roots can be implanted at angles of 35-40 degrees, which are suitable for the beard.

The small crusts formed on the skin will fall off spontaneously during the healing phase. Patients should also pay attention to their sleeping position for 1-2 days. A position should be adjusted to lie on the beard area without weight.

People should not cut their beards during the recovery period. In this period, the opinions of the doctor who transplanted the beard should be consulted.
