When it comes to changing up their personal style, men usually change their facial hair style to redefine their appearance or to make a fashion statement. Sometimes, the added facial hair can make a man feel masculine, the growth can be achieved in just a few days. However, for some men facial hair is sparse or missing, which can be frustrating. Beard, Mustache and Eyebrow Transplantation surgery is now being used as a common cosmetic procedure to help men achieve beard and ongoing growth. Eyebrows, on the other hand, are a fundamental component that completely affects the overall appearance of the face and plays an important role in communication. Absence or rarity of eyebrows and asymmetry adversely affect both women and men.
The reason for lack of facial hair growth or patchy beards is the result of genetics, electrolysis, physical trauma, surgical injury or congenital defects. In this case, a more masculine appearance can be achieved with hair transplantation techniques by producing dense and natural looking facial hair.
It is suitable for people with facial hair loss. Hair transplantation is performed using techniques such as FUE or DHI. With these techniques, hair is taken from the back of the scalp and re-implanted into the facial areas where the patient desires new growth. The main difference between the two procedures is in the way the donor hair is removed from the back of the scalp. This technique is very delicate by nature, and thus the surgeon requires that the facial lines are drawn accurately, and that the placement and direction of the hair follicles are implanted in the right direction, angle and density.
The average amount of grafts used for facial hair transplant surgery are indicated below:
Beard, Mustache and Eyebrow TransplantationIn FUE or DHI hair transplantation techniques, both local anesthetics and oral sedatives are used. The procedure takes 2 to 8 hours depending on the aesthetic demands of the patient. After the procedure, small, red scabs appear on the newly transplanted follicles but disappear within a week.
After about 3 to 4 weeks, the transplanted hair begins to fall out. This is a completely normal process because the follicles below the skin are still in place and new hair starts to grow in about 3 to 4 months. The newly transplanted facial hair is permanent and grows naturally like normal facial hair. Once grown in, men can shave the hair and the mustache just like normal facial hair, and apply care. The same applies to eyebrows.
If done by a skilled surgeon, a beard transplant is often a low-risk treatment. Minor concerns include infection, edema, or transient redness in the donor and recipient sites, just as with any cosmetic surgery. Usually minor, these side effects typically away in a few days. Scarring or uneven hair growth may occur in rare circumstances, although these risks may be reduced by according to the surgeon’s aftercare recommendations. For most individuals who want thicker facial hair, the process is safe and successful overall, and with the right care and professional skill, problems are uncommon.
The price varies depending on how many grafts are required to achieve the desired cosmetic result.
