Hair transplant on a beard: features of the procedure and its advantages



A beard is a sign of masculinity, and many representatives of the stronger sex want to decorate their faces with this symbol of success and prosperity. There are cases when it becomes necessary to hide skin defects (scars, scars) under the scalp. It is not always possible to do this in a natural way, in such cases a hair transplant on a beard is required.

This manipulation is not common enough, as hair transplantation on the face requires a special delicate and gentle approach, not every clinic in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Krasnodar offers it. Currently, minimally invasive methods are used in practical plastic medicine: FUT, FUE, HFE hair transplantation .



The main indications for the procedure: the desire of a man to get thick facial hair in order to conform to fashion or status, as well as the need to hide cosmetic defects of the epidermis. Choose a way to be a hair transplant on the beard, the doctor should be tailored to the individual characteristics of the patient.

The FUT method consists in the transplantation of grafts taken from the flap cut from the back of the head. This method is not as traumatic as the STRIP method , but is rarely used for facial plastics.



• The grafts are inserted in such a way as to form the necessary outlines of the future beard and sideburns.
• The recovery period after the manipulation is quite long and is about 3 months.
• The main problem caused by the procedure is the formation of scars on the face and in the donor area, which do not overlap the regrown hair.
• Alopecia zones do not have an aesthetic appearance, and since the main goal of the operation is to increase attractiveness, the meaning of such a transplant is lost.

The FUE method involves the fence using a special tool of a separate graft, which contains 1-2 hair bulbs, from the donor area (usually the back of the head). As a result, scars appear in the head in the form of red dots, which are subsequently hidden by regrown hair. The recovery period after a transplant can be from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the magnitude of the manipulation. And during this time, the beard may not grow at all, as often the old hair follicles fall off, and new hair grows slowly. The final result of the procedure can be seen only one year after the operation. A side effect is the growth of overly dense vegetation, which does not look natural. This technique is currently used most often.

The HFE method , like keratin hair prosthetics , is the most modern and innovative. It is a hair follicle transplant in a completely different way. Material from the donor area is taken with a special needle, without any incisions and scars. Implants are also implanted without cuts, the hair bulbs are literally planted with the help of a special tool to the desired depth of the treated area using a seamless method.

This gives significant advantages:



• fast recovery period, about 2 weeks;
• the beard is obtained naturally with physiologically bent hairs of natural density;
• material can be taken not only from the head, but also from other hairy parts of the body (eyebrow, chest);
• the absence of scars and scars after the procedure;
• Due to its minimal invasiveness, this technique has practically no risks and side effects.

The only disadvantage of this type of operation is its high cost. Although the technique was developed relatively not long ago, according to reviews, the price corresponds to the result obtained.

Hair transplant on the face from the chest and other parts of the body.

The main indications of transplantation are various types of alopecia, including androgenic (focal), as well as the effects of a burn or injury that caused scarring of the tissues. Facial hair transplantation is performed using one of the listed methods, using a local anesthetic, and takes several hours.

• In some cases, the use of general anesthesia is allowed. At the beginning of the procedure, the surgeon collects the necessary material from the donor area, which is treated with saline.
• It is important to accurately determine the number of follicles needed for plastic surgery.
• Before manipulation, one should clearly outline the line of the future beard, matching the client’s wishes with the specialist’s capabilities. With the help of special equipment produced follicular plastic.
• After that, a sterile dressing is applied to the treated area, the client can go home. The postoperative period does not require special care, the natural healing process is easily transported.

Before deciding on an operation, it is necessary to clarify whether there will be a hair transplant from the chest or the back of the head, and also to find out what contraindications to this manipulation exist.

2. Insufficient amount of material, hair follicles in potential donor areas (nape, chest, temporal region) or impossibility of extraction. If the client insists, then a seamless transplant is recommended.
3. Mental illnesses, such as trichotillomania (uncontrolled pulling out body hair), obsessive thoughts, dysmorphophobia (dissatisfaction with one’s body).
4. Endocrine disorders, including diabetes mellitus, which slows down the processes of regeneration and often contributes to the occurrence of suppuration.
5. Exacerbations of skin diseases, psoriasis, eczema, etc. It is possible to perform follicular transplantation during remission.
6. Persons suffering from serious heart problems, as well as hypertensive patients, are required to consult a doctor before the procedure.

Gradually, this area of ​​surgery is becoming popular in the European part of the country. The possibility of hair transplantation on the face appeared due to the combination of surgical treatment of hair loss on the head and the development of modern technology.
