Beard Transplant

1. Consulting and Planning:

The beard transplantation process begins with a detailed assessment of the patient's needs and expectations. Factors such as the density of the area to be transplanted, the shape and direction of the beard are examined by the doctor. In addition, the donor area (usually the back of the head) is evaluated.

2. Donor Site Preparation and Follicle Removal:

Healthy hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using FUE or DHI techniques. The donor area may need to be shaved during this process.

3. Follicle Transplantation in the Beard Area:

The extracted follicles are carefully placed in areas where the beard is sparse or absent. When transplanting, it is important to place the follicles in accordance with the natural growth direction. This ensures a natural appearance after transplantation.

4. Recovery Process:

After a beard transplant, you may experience slight redness, swelling or scabbing in the transplanted area. This is part of a normal healing process and subsides within a few days. Patients can usually return to their social activities a few days after the procedure.

Care After Beard Transplant

• The First Few Days:

  • Avoid touching the transplanted area.
  • Take antibiotics or painkillers prescribed by your doctor.
  • Get enough rest and sleep to support recovery.

• First Weeks

  • Scabbing and shedding is normal; this means that new beards will grow.
  • Use special shampoos or lotions recommended by your doctor to support the healing process.

Expected Results and Risks

• Results:
  • In the first few weeks, the transplanted follicles may shed; this is normal and is known as "shock shedding". New beard hairs usually start to grow after 3-4 months. Final results are seen approximately 8-12 months after transplantation.
• Risks
  • As with any surgical procedure, beard transplantation also involves risks such as infection, bleeding and problems during the healing process. However, these risks are minimal when performed by an experienced doctor.
