Procedure Details

Some men can grow their facial hair to the fullest extent, while others could have hair loss problems resulting in less hair growth in the beard region. A beard transplant is an effective procedure that enables restoring beard hair growth.

Purpose:

Beard transplants are generally recommended in the following cases:

  1. Men having patchy beard growth
  2. Men with scars and burns that have caused hair loss
  3. Transgender female-to-male patients

Types:

There are two main types of techniques that may be used for beard transplants. These techniques are:

  1. FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction: This procedure involves the extraction of the hair follicles from the donor site, which is usually the back side of the scalp, one by one. This procedure does not lead to any significant scarring on the scalp region and also enables a quicker recovery.
  2. FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation: This procedure involves taking a small strip of skin containing hair follicles from the scalp region. The skin tissues will then be dissected under a microscope and the best-quality hair follicles will be chosen amongst them. The extraction of the skin strip will leave a considerable amount of internal skin exposed, which will need closure using stitches or sutures. The hair follicles will then be implanted into the facial area. This procedure leads to the formation of a linear scar in the scalp region, which is usually visible in short hair.

 

 

  1. Physical examination: The doctor will evaluate the beard and the scalp region to determine how many grafts can be removed to provide the best possible results.
  2. Blood tests and urine tests: These are routine tests recommended to check for underlying medical infections.
  3. Electrocardiogram (ECG): The electrical activity of the heart can be checked using this test.

 

  1. The beard transplant procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia (numbing the treatment area) or sedation.
  2. The surgeon will take healthy hair follicles depending on the method chosen for the extraction of hair. If FUT is chosen, a strip of skin with healthy hair is taken. In the case of an FUE, the individual hair follicles will be extracted manually.
  3. After the extraction process, each hair follicle will be divided and sterilized by the technician.
  4. If FUT is being used, once the strip will be taken out, stitches will be used to close the incision. In case of FUE, the site will be cleaned after the extraction of hair.
  5. While cleaning the follicles, the doctor administers anesthesia to the face, which is the recipient area.
  6. A small punch device will be used to insert each hair follicle in the face carefully. The doctor will also carefully consider the direction of hair follicle insertion so that beard growth will look natural.
  7. After the procedure is completed, the recipient area will be cleaned and left open.
  8. The procedure takes two to eight hours to complete. The duration will vary depending on the number of grafts that require implantation in the recipient area.

 

The beard transplant procedure is associated with the following complications:

  1. Redness
  2. Numbness
  3. Tightness
  4. Swelling
  5. Scarring
  6. Bruising
  7. Temporary scabs
  1. You need to take at least one week off from work after the procedure to get sufficient rest.
  2. Small crusts around the transplanted hair will become visible after the procedure.
  3. You can resume most of your normal activities within 24 hours of the procedure.
  4. The transplanted hair will begin to fall out after two to four weeks, and after three to four months the new hair will begin to grow again. 
  5. Most patients can see the maximum result of the surgery within six months, and after twelve to eighteen months the facial hair will look intense and natural.
  6. Keep the surgical sites, both the donor and recipient sites, clean to prevent infections and other problems.
  7. Have regular follow-up appointments with the doctor to ensure that the treated areas heal properly and there are no signs of post-surgical complications.

Home remedies:

The following home care tips will ensure that you have a quick and smooth recovery following the beard transplant procedure:

  • Cold compress after surgery can help in minimizing symptoms like swelling, pain, and bleeding after surgery.
  • Take all the prescribed medications regularly.
  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching your cheeks or chin during the recovery period.
  • Elevate your head at an angle of up to 45 degrees while sleeping for the first two days after the procedure to reduce swelling.
  • Sleep on your back for the first few days after surgery.
  • Avoid the exposure of the face and scalp to direct sunlight as it may lead to pigmentation and affect the healing process.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activities and sports for a few weeks, as they can lead to sweating.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for a few weeks after surgery.
  • Wait for at least ten days after surgery to shave your beard.
  • Avoid using any chemical products on the face till the skin heals completely.
  • Avoid swimming and hot tub baths for at least a few weeks after surgery.

Q. How is a beard transplant surgery done?

A. The following steps are involved in a beard transplant surgery:

The surgeon will give local anesthesia or sedative before starting the process of harvesting.
The hair follicles are harvested using the FUT or FUE technique.
2. Implantation:
Once the follicles have been harvested from the head, the surgeon injects a local anesthetic agent into the area of the face where the implants will be placed.
The surgeon will then implant each follicle into the facial skin, shaping the new beard in a suitable manner.

Q. Will beard transplants leave behind scars?

A. Beard transplant surgery will provide natural-looking and permanent results.
