What is Beard Transplantation?

Hair and beard have been symbols of power and maturity for men throughout history. In some cultures, important stages of life such as working, entertainment, military service and marriage are celebrated by giving the name “beard” to the hairs on the face. However, in western countries, lately, beardless and mustacheless men are accepted as indicators of civilization and hygiene. Nevertheless, with the increase of mustached and bearded phenomena on social media, mustache and beard have become popular again.

 

So, what should men who have no or very sparse mustache and beard do? This is where beard transplant comes in. Beard transplant is a procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from the scalp to the face area using a similar method to hair transplant. Those who want to have a beard transplant must be over 18 years old. Beard transplant is an aesthetic operation that is becoming increasingly popular in Turkey and the world. So, how is beard transplant done and what should be considered? In this article, we, as YND HEALTH, will try to answer all your questions about beard transplant.

How is Beard Transplant Done?

Beard transplant is based on the same principle as hair transplant. As in hair transplant, the donor area we use for beard and mustache transplant is the area that extends from behind the ear to the other ear, including the nape. The hair follicles in this area are genetically resistant to shedding and do not shed again in the new area where they are transplanted. The blood flow in this area is also faster than the other areas of the head.

 

The beard transplant process follows the same steps as hair transplant. First, the donor area is numbed by our team with local anesthesia. Then, the grafts (the tissue containing the hair roots) are taken by our hair transplant team with a micro motor. Then, the grafts are placed one by one into the channels opened by our hair transplant coordinator with a sapphire tip.

How Many Grafts Should Be Transplanted for Beard Transplant?

The number of grafts to be transplanted for beard transplant varies from patient to patient. Some of the factors that affect this number are:
  • The number and quality of hair follicles in the donor area
  • The width and density of the beard area
  • The expectation and desire of the patient
When performing beard transplant, we always try to use the maximum number of grafts. However, while doing this, we also pay attention to not disturbing the homogeneous appearance in the donor area and preventing the necrosis that may occur due to excessive intake. Another important thing to consider when performing beard transplant is the direction of the hair follicles to be transplanted. For your beard to look natural and aesthetic, our hair team places your new roots in the channels according to their natural angles.

Does Beard Transplant Leave Scars?

You do not need to worry about scars or wounds on your face and donor area after beard transplant. Beard transplant is a minimally invasive procedure and does not leave scars. You will forget that you had a beard transplant after a maximum of 1 month.

How to Take Care After Beard Transplant?

After beard transplant, the growth of your new mustache and beard roots starts after the operation. However, you need to be very careful and attentive during this process. Because your new hair roots are as new and vulnerable as a newborn baby. When taking care of your beard after transplant, you should pay attention to the following:
  • Do not wash or wet the transplanted area for the first 3 days.
  • From the 4th day, gently wash and dry the transplanted area with the shampoo and lotion recommended by your doctor.
  • Do not touch, scratch, rub or squeeze the transplanted area for the first 10 days.
  • Protect the transplanted area from factors such as sun, dust, dirt, sweat, impact, pressure for the first 15 days.
  • Stay away from harmful substances such as alcohol, cigarettes, aspirin, blood thinners, caffeine, spicy foods for the first 1 month.
  • Do not shave or use a machine on the transplanted area for the first 3 months. You can only shorten it with small scissors.
After beard transplant, you may experience shock shedding in the transplanted area. This is a normal situation and you do not need to worry. Shock shedding occurs within 1 or 2 months after the transplant and then the transplanted roots continue to grow permanently. You will start to see the first signs of growth in the transplanted area after 3 months. The completion of the beard transplant process may take 8 or 10 months.
