Beard, Moustache and Eyebrow Transplant

Beard, moustache, and eyebrow transplants are important procedures that complete facial aesthetics. Beards and moustaches that are sparse or absent due to genetic reasons, and eyebrows lost due to accidents or burns, can be permanently treated using the FUE method.

Beard Transplant

Beard transplant is one of the most requested facial aesthetic procedures for men. Grafts taken from the donor area (usually the nape of the neck) are placed in the beard region at a natural growth angle.

Who Is Beard Transplant Performed On?

• Those with genetically sparse or non-existent beards
• Those with irregular or patchy beard growth
• Those who have lost beard hair due to scarring or burns
• Those who want a fuller beard

Graft Requirements

• Dimple area: 300-400 grafts
• Under the chin: 400-500 grafts
• Cheek area: 200-400 grafts (each cheek)
• Full beard: 2000-3000 grafts

Moustache Transplant

Moustache transplant is performed similarly to beard transplant. It requires special care due to the delicate structure of the upper lip area.

Moustache Transplant Details

• Graft requirement: 400-700 grafts
• Natural growth angle is of critical importance
• Fine grafts are preferred
• Healing time: 7-10 days

Eyebrow Transplant

Eyebrow transplant can be performed on both men and women. It is done for the purposes of eyebrow shaping, filling in sparse eyebrows, or reconstructing lost eyebrows.

Eyebrow Transplant Indications

• Genetically sparse eyebrows
• Eyebrow loss due to over-plucking
• Eyebrow loss due to accidents or burns
• Alopecia areata
• Post-chemotherapy

Eyebrow Transplant Features

• Graft requirement: 100-400 grafts (per eyebrow)
• Single hair strand grafts are used
• The eyebrow growth angle is kept very low (10-15°)
• Careful planning is required for an aesthetic appearance

Post-Procedure Care

• Keep the area dry for the first 3 days
• Do not shave for 1 week
• Do not rub your face for 2 weeks
• Do not apply makeup on eyebrows for 10 days
• Protect from the sun

Results

The transplanted hairs will shed within the first 2-4 weeks (shock shedding). New hairs begin to grow after 3-4 months and the final result is visible within 8-12 months. The transplanted beard/moustache/eyebrow hair is permanent and grows normally — it can be shaved and trimmed.
