This procedure is applied to eyebrows, beards, and mustaches. Beard transplantation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is preferred due to problems such as sparseness, scar or burn marks, or congenital sparseness in the beard area.
The beard transplantation procedure is similar to hair transplantation. Hair follicles taken from the hairy skin are transplanted into the beard area. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes an average of 4-8 hours. Mild swelling and redness may be observed in the area after the procedure. The healing process varies between 1-2 weeks. Mustache transplantation is also similar to beard transplantation.
How is Face Hair Transplant Done?
Beard transplantation can be performed with both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) techniques. While the FUE method is performed by extracting individual hair follicles and transplanting them into the beard area, the FUT method is performed by taking a strip from the hairy skin, extracting the hair follicles from there, and transplanting them into the beard area.
Beard transplantation is a safe procedure when performed under appropriate conditions by an experienced physician. However, like any surgical procedure, beard transplantation also carries some risks. Therefore, a detailed examination should be performed before the procedure and the doctor’s recommendations should be followed.
What Are The Risks of Hair and Beard Transplantation?
Although it is a cosmetic surgical procedure, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. Mild side effects such as swelling, redness, crusting, and itching may be observed in the area after the procedure. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as infection, bleeding, scar formation, skin sensitivity, and loss of follicles may occur. Therefore, it is important to have a detailed consultation with the doctor before the procedure and to follow the doctor’s recommendations. Also, the person undergoing the procedure should have a suitable health condition to reduce the risks that may arise after the procedure.
