Facial Hair Transplants

Facial hair, including beards, mustaches, and eyebrows, is a distinctive part of your appearance, and how it looks can significantly impact your self-esteem. If you naturally have a patchy beard, sparse brows, or hair loss due to age or health conditions, you may be a candidate for facial hair transplantation surgery.

Facial hair transplantation involves removing active hair follicles from another area of your body and transplanting them to your face. The transplanted follicles allow you to grow your natural hair where you want it and fill out your beard, mustache, or eyebrows.

Mustache Hair Transplant

Mustache hair transplants begin with the extraction of follicles from areas where they are plentiful. People can use these hairs taken from other places on the head. These hairs can cover up bald spots or create a mustache. Grafts grow better when transplanted with FUE, involve less trauma and require fewer stitches.

A mustache hair transplant involves taking some hair from your head and then moving it to other places on your face where few hairs exist. This movement can be done for people who shave off all their facial hair too often.

The doctors leave enough hair in the donor area to grow and only take from the recipient area what is needed. That way, you can keep your hair in both places, but this won’t happen if you take too much from either place. Our hair transplant specialists use follicles to grow facial hair.

Beard Hair Transplants

A beard transplant is a treatment that people have for hair loss. Sometimes, hair transplant specialists take hair from the chest or back and put it on a patient’s face to make a beard grow thicker.

The doctors and clinicians use follicular unit extraction (FUE) processes to remove hair follicles from a short strip of tissue cut from the back of the head. They create a complete beard by transplanting it to the cheeks, chin, and jawline.

Eyebrow Hair Transplants

Eyebrows have always been one of the most important features on a person’s face, but if your

brows are not very full, it is hard to find makeup that you can use for them. Despite the makeup you apply, the effect will still look unnatural. Eyebrow transplants can be done to create eyebrows. This enhancement is accomplished by taking hair from other areas of your head and transplanting them onto the part where no eyebrows exist.

A cosmetic or plastic surgeon will remove hair from your head and apply it to your eyebrow area. The idea is for new hairs to sprout from these grafts, giving the appearance of a larger head of hair. An eyebrow transplant is a procedure in which hairs get transplanted from other areas of the body to your brow region. The new hair will hopefully grow and produce fuller eyebrows.

You have many factors to consider when you’re deciding to move forward with eyebrow enhancements. The cost, risks, and side effects need careful consideration before going through with the procedure.

The Advantages of Facial Hair Transplantation

Shaving may irritate your skin, and allowing dispersed patches of facial hair to grow may not reflect your desired look. Follicular unit extraction is a way to grow hair on your face. This technique is good for mustaches, beards, and eyebrows. You can have hair that grows consistently. The following are some of the advantages of FUE for facial hair:

Procedure

When it comes to facial hair transplants, follicular unit extraction is a solid option. Dr. Barnard, Dr. Golio, Clinician Daniels, or Dr. Singh will shave the region of your head that will be harvested first. This process will allow them to see the hair follicles more clearly. You will receive a local anesthetic before the harvesting begins so that you will not feel any pain during or after the harvesting.

The doctor or clinician will put an anesthetic in the area involving the implants. Then, they will extract follicles from your head for the implants. After that, they will implant each follicle into your facial skin. The doctor or clinician will sculpt your new facial hair as you both agreed before surgery.

Recovery and Results

You may have some discomfort in the area where hair was extracted a few hours after the facial hair transplant. Our team recommends using a cold pack or soothing lotion. Over the next two days, the healing process should be completed.

You should not be concerned if your transplanted hair comes out after two weeks because this is typical. The implanted follicular units will sprout new hair after three months. The cells may take some time to adjust to their new environment, but they will continue to encourage healthy hair development.

FAQs About Facial Hair Transplants

How Does a Facial Hair Transplant Work?

Facial hair transplants use a procedure called follicular unit extraction (FUE). With FUE, your doctor will remove individual hair follicles from another area of your body. Typically, your doctor will take the follicles from an area of your scalp, though it is possible to take hair from the arms, legs, or chest.

Once the follicles have been removed, your doctor will numb the area of your face where the hair will be placed. They will make tiny incisions and place the follicles in the incisions. The incisions will heal, and the follicles will grow natural hair in the new location.

What To Expect During a Facial Hair Transplant Procedure

Facial hair transplants are done in the office, and you will be awake during the procedure. Your doctor will first shave the section of your scalp where they will be removing follicles. This allows them to see the follicles more clearly and choose follicles that will fit into the donor site. They will then conduct the harvesting process.

Once your doctor has collected follicles, they can begin transplanting them to your face. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the transplant area. A full beard transplant may take up to 8 hours, while mustache transplants might take a shorter amount of time.

Facial Hair Transplant Cost

The cost of facial hair implants will vary. The size of the transplant area will affect the final cost. Your doctor will be able to give you a cost estimate when you have your consultation. Because hair transplantation is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance will not cover the costs.

Recovery and Facial Swelling after Hair Transplant

Like any surgical procedure, you may have some pain and swelling at the incision sites. It’s not unusual to notice discomfort in the area where hair was extracted beginning a few hours after the facial hair transplant. Our team recommends using a cold pack or soothing lotion to ease discomfort and reduce swelling during recovery. The face swelling and pain should resolve within a few days of your procedure.

You may notice that the transplanted hair falls out about two weeks after the procedure. This is completely normal. The newly implanted follicular units will sprout new hair over the next several months. The cells may take some time to adjust to their new environment, but they will continue to encourage healthy hair development.
