Beard and Mustache Transplantation

Beard and mustache are very important accessories for men. Lack of beard or mustache can have many causes, such as genetic causes, burns and accidents. Since the absence of a beard can cause aesthetic problems, it can sometimes affect the psychology of people badly. Beard and mustache transplantation has emerged to solve such problems and has recently been preferred quite often.

How is beard and mustache transplantation done?

Beard and mustache transplantation is performed using the FUE method, just like hair transplantation. In the FUE method , the roots are first collected with the help of punch . The donor area is usually the nape area, but it can also be taken from the beard area if it is sufficient. The grafts taken by the collection process are kept in special solutions until the planting stage. Then the channel opening process is started. Channels are opened one by one in the area to be planted. The beard and mustache transplantation process ends with the transplantation of the grafts into the channels opened one by one at an appropriate angle.

One day after beard transplantation, the patient is called for dressing. The day after the dressing is the first wash day. 6-7. In these days, crusts may begin to form on the beard. This is normal and temporary, most of the crusts will fall off on the 10th day of washing. After the recovery period, the shock shedding period will begin in about 3 months. Shock shedding is a necessary process for the natural growth of the planted roots. Shock shedding takes an average of 1 month and the transplanted roots are completely shed. After this stage, natural beards begin to grow. On average, 80 percent of the beards grow within 4 months, and the rest within 1 year.
