Types of Facial Hair Transplant

Beard Transplant

Men may have hair growth on their face but that might not extend into full-fledged beard. It might be sparse or may have irregular hairline. Sometimes, they can have patchy hairloss in the beard because of underlying immunological reason or scars. Both the cases can benefit from beard hair reconstruction where grafts are taken from the scalp and are implanted in the beard area in the desired pattern and density.

EYEBROW Transplant

Eyebrows are the highlighting part of the face and their symmetry is of utmost importance. It not only gives a pleasant look to the face but also defines your facial structure. Eyebrow reconstruction can be done according to the desired structure, density and size, thus enhancing its shape and the length.

MOUSTACHE Transplant

Some men don’t have a moustache or may have very little growth. Genetics can be a major cause whereas certain illness and hormonal changes can also cause the same. Medical conditions like cleft lip, accidents and cancer can also cause thinning of moustache which can be corrected by this method.

Steps of Surgery

Preparation

There are a set of preoperative instructions that needs to be followed prior to the surgery, however it has to be customised paying attention to the needs of the individual and associated ailments.

Anaesthesia

Generally all the hair transplant surgeries are carried out under local anaesthesia (unless indicated otherwise).
The discomfort due to the local anaesthesia will be reduced with the use of vibrators and smaller sized syringes.
The dosage of the local anaesthetic will be kept under check based on individual body weight and associated comorbidities.

Extraction of the grafts

The preferred donor area is usually the scalp (in case of beard and eyebrow hair transplant) and the shadow area of the beard in case of moustache hair transplantation.
Specialized motor punches are used in extraction of the grafts from the donor area. The size of the punches used can vary between 0.6-0.9mm. This helps in minimising the post- surgical scarring that occurs at the site of the graft extraction and gives an aesthetically pleasing look.
A steady count kept on the number of grafts extracted, thus reducing the chances of over harvesting and graft wastage.

Recipient site slit making

The slits (recipient site for the graft placement) creation is an art by itself. When performed by skilful doctors, they shall follow the natural pattern of the direction of hair growth which would have been discussed in the consultation before the surgery.
The slits are made in way that it ultimately gives the look of ‘no-transplant’. The number of grafts (density) is assessed and then the procedure of implantation is carried out.

Implantation

Here the extracted grafts are placed in the slits. The procedure is carried out by our highly trained staff under the supervision of the doctor.

Post-Procedure Care

  • In case of beard hair transplantation due to the effect of the local anaesthesia, there can be some perioral numbness and drooling postoperatively. Therefore, semisolid food is advised on the day of surgery and after discharge.
  • Hair growth is noticed after3-4 months, it shall continue to improve over one year.
  • The other post-operative instructions remain the same like in FUE surgery.Know More
  • The transplanted hair tends to shed by 3-4weeks. These shed hairs will regrow by 3rd month post operatively.
    However the complete results shall be appreciated by the end of one year.

Complications

It goes without saying, every surgery comes with its own set of pros and cons, however, a well-planned and well executed surgery doses not hold any significant complications. Majority of these complications are short lived and curable.

  • In eyebrow hair transplant, there can be a misdirected hair growth necessitating frequent trimming of the hairs, however this will reduce over a period of year.
  • Beard and moustache hair transplant can show raised bumps on close inspection.
  • Sometimes the density achieved can be unsatisfactory because of inadequate growth.

There may be a need for a revision surgery to attain the desired density or shape.

Cost

FUE demands surgical expertise and skill to give the expected cosmetic result. It is a time consuming tedious process being longer than even a cataract surgery!

The total cost of the surgery will depend on the number of grafts required, which will be calculated as per individual requirement. However Facial hair transplant in Delhi can Rs.70/graft to Rs.120/graft. More on Hair Transplant Cost...

I started facing hair loss at the age of 26 but it was not very noticeable. But at 29 the hair loss progressed very quickly and crown almost became empty. And further my hair line receded quickly. Now at the age of 31 I started looking very old. I tried many medicines like homeopathic etc etc but nothing seems to work. Then I started searching for my options and finally decided for a hair transplant.
