Beard and Mustache Transplant Beard and mustache transplants have become a popular trend in recent years. Although there are minor differences, the procedure is similar to a hair transplant with DHI. People prefer beard and mustache transplants due to many aesthetic reasons.
The main reason for the transplant is that beard and mustache hair strands are sparse. The problem is solvable by placing hair follicles in specific parts. If an experienced specialist performs your transplantation, it isn’t easy to distinguish the transplanted area from other regions.
Some people suffer from scars from hair breaks or surgeries, while others do not like the shape of their beards or mustache. Beard and mustache transplants are available for all types of requests.
Besides scars and burns that may occur due to various reasons, hormonal disorders and metabolic diseases may result in hair loss in the facial area. Before deciding on beard transplantation, you should investigate the cause of the beard or mustache loss. We recommend you wait until the 22 to have a hair transplant operation.
Usually, the back of the neck is the donor area for the beard and mustache transplant. In some cases, doctors may prefer using body hair for donor grafts. They use the DHI method for graft collection and plantation. Usually, around 3000 hair follicles give satisfactory results for beard transplant. At the same time, 400-800 roots are sufficient for a mustache transplant. A hygienic environment is crucial for a successful transplant. For this reason, all materials should be sterile.
Beard Transplant
Beard loss is genetic for some people, but for others, various conditions may cause this loss. Many factors affect the frequency and hair quality of the beard. However, hormonal causes are the leading ones. The lack of hormones that develop and intensify the hair follicle is usually due to the genetic structure.
Beard transplant by the FUE method is collecting sufficient hair follicles from the donor area and placing the roots into the channels in the target area following the natural angle. Although other facial areas can be donors, grafts from the nape are usually better for a successful transplant.
In cases where the beard is absent, planting 1000 to 3000 roots can be sufficient to achieve the desired appearance. However, doctors may plant more roots according to the patient’s desires. You will feel no pain as you will be under local anesthesia. Thanks to micro punches, there will be no scars after the beard transplant. Also, acne-sized cysts may form in the region due to placing the hair follicles deeper. These dermoid cysts are frequent complications and heal in time.
Beard Transplant Before and After
As part of the operation process, the period before and after the transplant is crucial for successful results. There are some precautions before the beard transplant and some advice you should follow after the operation.
Before Beard Transplant
Beard transplant is slightly different than hair transplant as the intensity of beards may vary from person to person. If there is a loss, doctors should consider the frequency of the beard and harmonize the new follicles with the surrounding hair. You will be under anesthesia during the procedure. There are three anesthesia techniques before the beard transplant.
Types of Anesthesia
- General Anesthesia: In general anesthesia, the most comprehensive type of anesthesia, the person is entirely unconscious and numb.
- Regional Anesthesia: In regional anesthesia, the person is not asleep. He is conscious, and his senses, like vision, hearing, taste, and smell, are functional.

After Beard Transplant
After the beard transplant, you can return to your daily life as quickly as possible. You can wash your face 24-48 hours after the operation. Planted hair follicles appear in 2 to 3 days. There is an increase in the blood supply in the planting area, which causes acne-like small rednesses in the hair follicles for 2-3 days.
Due to the blood clotting out of the small holes, you may observe redness which can last for 4 to 6 hours, according to the number of roots. These slight rednesses that lead to better nutrition of the hair follicles will be disappeared within a week.
The hair follicles experience a shock loss approximately two weeks after the beard transplant. After this temporary shedding, the hair follicles grow entirely within 4-8 months, according to the person’s genetic structure.
Beard Transplant Cost
