Beard Transplantation
Beard and mustache transplantation is the process of restoring sparse, thinned and lost areas on the face.
In beard and mustache transplantation, as in hair transplantation, the roots are taken from the donor area. These taken roots are transferred to the empty or sparse beard area by adjusting the right angles one by one. Healthy men aged 20 and over, who have completed puberty in order to have a beard and transplant, are suitable for this procedure. Beard transplantation is usually done under the mustache and cheeks. In addition, this procedure can also be performed on acne scars and other types of scars, ringworms or cavities formed due to physical trauma. Beard loss may be genetic or may result from burns and wounds.
According to the statistics;
- Generally, 350-500 grafts are planted in the mustache area.
- Mustache and Under Mustache (Ball Beard) 1000-1500 grafts
- 1000-1500 grafts for each cheek
- In beard transplantation, the desired result is obtained in a single session.
Beard differs according to the region to be planted. The operation time is between 2 and 5 hours. Beard transplantation should be treated more sensitively than hair transplantation. Because facial nerves pass through this area, it is also useful to be more careful.
Sowing should be done by experts in the subject. After the beard transplantation, the roots come out of the hair feature and adapt to the beard format. For this reason, new beards can be shaved. In order to give a more natural form to the area to be transplanted, we, as Medicaleste, often transfer single or double roots.
In addition, our center uses sapphire tips and microscope in planting. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. It is a painless and painless operation. After the operation, the person should keep the planted area dry. He can return to his daily life after the operation.
Healing Process
After beard and mustache transplantation, tiny crusts will form. After the operation, the patient washes the beard and mustache for a week as prescribed by the experts. These crusts fall off and heal within 10 days.
In the 4th week after planting, the transplanted beards begin to fall out, and this shedding continues until the end of the 8th week and starts to grow again after the 12th week, and this growth continues throughout life.
The patient must be 18 to have a hair transplanation. We, has experts, recommend to wait a little bit if the patient have no psychological worry about is aspect. The shape and the hair losses we’ll be more visible in the following years.
The hair transplantation must be done by expert in dermatology, leaded by plastic surgeon or people who have expertise in transplantation under hospital conditions. The devices must be sterile. The expertise of the team, the sterility of the environment and to respect the rules is very important.
It can vary from people to people. It depends of the density and the size of the donor area.
It must be at least 8 month. So in this period the results can be visible and the donor area can provide to its softness and be ready another session.
Hair transplantation is an aesthetic attempt. This operation is made by experts and by their team.
The former patient or the doctors are the most trusted resource to make a decision to choose the center. The persons who have seen or liked the results is already convinced. Internet is an important research source. However advertisement and misguided information can be effective for making the right choice. The persons must be careful of misguided information, unrealistic demands,and in prices.
The hair transplantation can not be done to people who have a thin and wick donor area. The approach must be delicate to people between 18-22 years old. The persons who have very high expectations can’t be operated, because they won’t be satisfied. The persons who have coagulation and bleeding problems or who have general hair thinness problems.( for example some woman type)
The implanted hairs are permanent but in some situation they might fall.( Hormonal disorders, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or some vitamin pills taken for sportive purpose.)
These products cannot affect the hair loss if it is washed daily. If the base of the hair is not cleaned the debris of the products is accumulating in the hair skin and can create hair loss after a period of time.
It is possible to do hair transplantation to the thin areas. The advantage is that the patient we’ll never be hairless. Because when is loosing his hair, the implanted hair will reinforce the area and it will be enough to satisfy the patient.
This is a very satisfying operation if it is done in good hands and if it is made to suitable applicant.
It is possible to get rid off hairs with laser epilation and with needle epilation in a few session. Punches can be also used.
