Beard Transplantation
Beard transplantation is the operation of transplanting the hair follicles extracted from the donor site to the beardless areas on the face of men. During this operation, hair follicles are generally extracted from the back of the hair area. If there are not enough follicles on the back of the hair, different parts of the body can also be chosen as the donor. Beard transplantation is performed under local anesthesia.
Personalized beard and mustache transplantation is planned by a team of experts having 25 years of experience in their fields. Men can be beardless due to many reasons. Also, some people can have a deformity in their beard shape although they grow a beard. Beard transplantation operations are a definite remedy that will provide a natural appearance based on the requests of the patients. After the operation, an aesthetic appearance can be provided in areas where beard does not grow or where beards grow sparsely.
How Beard Transplantation is Performed?
Beard transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, by transplanting the hair follicles extracted from the donor site to the planned area.
The stages of beard transplantation are as follows;
Preliminary Examination and Planning of Beard Transplantation
Each beard transplantation is a personally planned process. First of all, the area where the patient’s hair follicles will be extracted and the areas where they will be transplanted are determined in the preliminary examination. The method to be applied is planned during the preliminary examination according to the current condition and requests of the patient. After this stage, if the area where hair follicles will be extracted and the area to be transplanted are shaved, the process will be more comfortable.
Extracting Hair Follicles from the Donor Site
The next stage of beard transplantation is to extract the hair follicles from the donor site using the FUE method. Incisions that are too small to be seen in the area are formed and all hair follicles are extracted one by one.
Opening Channel in the Area to be Transplanted
Channels are opened in the area to be transplanted in Istanbul hair transplantation operations, as in beard transplantation. The angle of channel is very important in order to provide a natural look. The hair follicles in the chin area open to the front, and the hair follicles in the lower part of the chin open towards the neck area. The angle should be determined accurately in order to obtain the natural slope during the channel opening process.
Planting the Grafts in the Area Where Beard will Be Transplanted
The last stage of the beard transplantation operation is the placement of the grafts extracted from the donor site to the beardless area. It is necessary to be careful and fast during beard transplantation. The extracted hair follicles lose their function if they are kept for a long time. For this reason, the hair follicles should be placed in the area to be transplanted as soon as possible.
What to Be Careful About Before the Beard Transplantation?
Before the beard transplantation, there are some issues that the patient should take into consideration to increase the success of the operation and improve the comfort;

What to Be Careful About After the Beard Transplantation?
After the beard transplantation, a certain period of time should pass to achieve the expected result. There are some issues that the patient should be careful about after the operation to get the ultimate result early and increase the success of operation;
- Products containing alcohol such as perfume and cologne should not be applied to the area of transplantation for 20-30 days.
