Beard transplantation is a hair transplantation procedure performed for people who do not have a sufficient density or desired beard in the facial area. This procedure is performed similar to hair transplantation techniques and is usually done using the person’s own hair follicles.
Beard transplantation is a method preferred for aesthetic purposes and is generally preferred by people who want to increase their self-confidence.
1. Consultation Planning and Anesthesia:
In beard transplantation, the doctor evaluates the patient’s beard area and determines which areas will be transplanted. Generally, areas with dense hair follicles, such as the nape of the neck or the sides of the head, are chosen as donor areas. The area to be transplanted and the donor area are anesthetized with local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
2. Removal of Grafts:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area. This method is less invasive and less likely to leave scars.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of tissue is removed from the donor area and hair follicles are separated from this strip. FUT can leave more of a mark.
3. Preparation of Grafts:
The collected hair follicles are prepared for transplantation and turned into micro grafts.
4. Transplantation of Grafts:
Opening Channels: Small channels are opened in the area where the grafts will be placed.
Placement of Grafts: The prepared grafts are carefully placed in these channels. Attention is paid to the natural growth direction and density of the beard.
According to the special instructions given by the doctor, the area can be washed a few days after transplantation.
Within a few weeks after transplantation, the transplanted hairs may fall out. This is a normal process and then permanent hairs begin to grow. It may take 6-12 months for permanent beards to fully grow. As a result of the transplantation performed by an expert team, a natural and dense beard appearance is obtained.
Those with Sufficient Donor Hair Follicles: People with sufficient amounts of healthy hair follicles on the nape or sides of the head.
Those with Good General Health Conditions: Individuals whose general health condition is suitable for anesthesia and surgical procedures.
Those with Realistic Expectations: People who have realistic expectations about the appearance that will be obtained as a result of the procedure.
Beard transplantation is an effective method for those who want to achieve a natural and dense beard appearance. The procedure offers a high success rate with minimal risks when performed by a specialist doctor. It is recommended that you consult an expert to get more information about beard transplantation and whether it is suitable for you.
