Beard Transplant
BEARD AND MEN
Beard has always been essential to men. Although it was disgraced for a certain period and being beardless was defined as civilization’s condition, the beard growth of figures like the American president Abraham Lincoln made the beard back into fashion and has preserved its place since then.
In the past decade, with the rising importance of social media, pictures of bushy men with beards have become the definition of masculinity and a pleasing look. Having a blank beard makes some men feel insecure. The participation of Hollywood actors such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Colin Farrel in this trend and having beard transplantation contributed to the rise of this trend and the beard transplant operation.
WHAT IS BEARD TRANSPLANTATION?
A Beard transplant operation is the transplantation of grafts taken from the donor area at the back of the head or lower part of the chin where the beard is dense to the areas on which beard loss is observed due to trauma, cut, or so on, through micro FUE method. The operation performed under local anesthesia lasts for about 8 hours and is painless after local anesthesia.
With a single application, the rate of successful results is high. Some people may need a second operation. Beard, an important appearance criterion for men in today’s world, is corrected by giving different models by barbers, but a definite treatment for the loose beard is beard transplantation.
One of the advantages of beard transplantation is that the beard’s shaping will be done at the planning stage of beard transplantation. A Beard shape suitable for the person’s face is selected together, and the beard is transplanted to the person within this plan and is used lifelong.

PROCESS AND HEALING AFTER BEARD TRANSPLANTATION
After the beard and moustache transplantation, there is no sizeable visible scar, and the healing process is speedy. Temporary symptoms such as redness, swelling, and dryness may occur, but these symptoms disappear entirely within a few days.
Unlike hair transplantation, since the transplanted area is the face and the face is more sensitive, there may be swelling in the first 2-3 days. However, these symptoms are minimized with the patient’s compliance with the recommendations after the process, medicine use and ice applications.
Post-operative pain is not a common condition in patients who are followed up. Sleeping position is one of the most critical situations. As the face is treated in operation, the patient should lie in the appropriate position and not harm the transplanted grafts. In Smile Hair Clinic, the information required for this is shared with the patients after the beard transplant operation.
It may take up to 1 week for the person to return to work after the operation. Although there is no medical problem related to returning to work after 2-3 days, we recommend that the patient make a business plan to rest for at least one week after the surgery.
It will also prevent himself from prying eyes and questions related to his appearance, due to his reservations. During this period, the skin will be healed, and beards will grow and form, swelling and redness will decrease.
The period of 2-3 weeks will satisfy the patient, make him receive positive feedback from around, and understand that he has made the right decision by having the operation.
However, there will be a period of shedding for a brief time in the transplanted hair follicles in the area where beard transplantation is performed. Patients may lose up to 50-80% of the beard follicles transplanted during this period. However, as of the 3rd and 4th months, this transplanted hair will begin to grow again. The chart below shows the process in detail.
IS THE TRANSPLANTED BEARD SHED?
Hair loss is not expected under normal conditions in beard transplantation or any hair transplantation. However, in the operations performed by amateur people, if there are roots taken from outside the safe donor area and sensitive to testosterone, hair loss may occur in the future. Nevertheless, the beard transplantation done by the clinics that do their job correctly and properly will give a beautiful and optimum outcome.
HOW MANY GRAFTS WILL I NEED FOR BEARD TRANSPLANTATION?
Although the graft calculation for beard transplantation varies from patient to patient, it will vary according to face type, current beard condition, patient desire, and beard style. In our clinic, the area to be transplanted is measured before the operation.
The required density is calculated according to the thinness and thickness of the hair taken from the person. This number of grafts from the patient’s safe donor area affects the quality of beard transplantation.
