Beard and Moustache Transplant

Bearded youngsters have been at the forefront in movies and TV series recently, bringing beard and mustache planting to the fore. This cultivation, which is very popular not only by Turkish men but also by Arab men, should be grouped into three groups as beard, mustache and favorite. In the beard and mustache area of men, the hair follicles taken from the scalp are transplanted to the areas where there is no hair or where it is seen very rarely.

The point to be noted here is that the hair in the nape region is used as a donor in beard-mustache transplantation. As with hair, mustaches also have exit directions. Mustaches have curves. In the beards, there are turns in the middle region and bends in the side region. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to the aspects and angles of each planting place. As in eyebrow transplantation, channels should be opened at certain angles of 5-10 degrees.

Can it be applied to men with corners?

Beard and mustache transplantation is a method that can be applied to patients who have no beard and mustache on their face, which is called corner.In this way, many Arab and Far Eastern patients who came to our clinic have been successfully transplanted hair and mustache.

This is a normal process. After three months, the hairs start to grow again. Within 6 to 8 months, the patient will have the desired beard and mustache.

Is beard transplantation done together with hair transplantation?

If the person who will have a beard transplant will also have a hair transplant, the patient should be evaluated meticulously. Hair follicles in the donor area should be examined in detail. It should be calculated that the hair follicles taken from this area will be used for both hair and beard, and a suitable planning should be made. Sowing should be carried out without damaging the hair roots and without wasting them.

In addition, the hair follicles suitable for the beard should be used for beard transplantation, and the ones for hair should be used in hair transplantation. Hair and beard transplantation can be done at the same time by making the color separation of the hair follicles correctly.
