Beard Transplant Guide: Everything You Need to Know
Achieve Your Perfect Beard with Beard Transplantation
A full, well-groomed beard is a symbol of masculinity and confidence. But not every man can grow a naturally thick beard. Beard transplantation offers a permanent solution for patchy facial hair, scarring, or simply wanting a fuller beard.
Who Needs Beard Transplant?
Beard transplantation is ideal for men experiencing:
- Patchy beard growth - Genetic gaps that never fill in
- Facial scars - From accidents, surgery, or acne
- Alopecia areata - Autoimmune hair loss on the face
- Thin facial hair - Insufficient density for desired style
- Gender affirmation - Transgender men seeking facial masculinization
The Beard Transplant Procedure
The process is similar to scalp hair transplantation but requires even more precision:
Step 1: Design - Your surgeon designs the beard shape based on your facial structure and preferences. Popular styles include full beard, goatee, mustache, or designer stubble.
Step 2: Extraction - Hair follicles are harvested from your scalp (typically the back of the head) using FUE technique. For a full beard, 2,000-3,500 grafts may be needed.
Step 3: Implantation - Grafts are carefully implanted at precise angles to mimic natural beard growth. Single-hair grafts are used for edges, 2-3 hair grafts for density.
The entire procedure takes 3-4 hours and is performed under local anesthesia. You'll be awake, comfortable, and can even watch movies during the procedure.
Beard Transplant Costs
At Turkish Hair Center, beard transplant packages are highly affordable:
- Mustache/Goatee: €1,490 (400-1,200 grafts)
- Full Beard: €2,290 (2,000-3,500 grafts)
- Sideburns: €990 (300-600 grafts)
All packages include hotel, transfers, medications, and lifetime follow-up.
Recovery Timeline
Days 1-7: Mild swelling and redness. Small scabs form around grafts. Can return to work after 5 days.
Days 8-14: Scabs fall off naturally. Transplanted hairs begin to shed (this is normal).
Weeks 3-12: Resting phase. Roots are establishing beneath the skin.
Months 3-6: New beard hair begins growing. Initially fine, becomes thicker over time.
Months 6-12: Full results visible. Beard can be styled, trimmed, and groomed normally.
Will It Look Natural?
Yes! When performed by experienced surgeons, beard transplants are indistinguishable from natural facial hair. The key is:
- Proper angle and direction of implantation
- Using single-hair grafts for natural edges
- Matching density to surrounding hair
- Designing a style that suits your face
Aftercare Tips
- Don't touch the area for the first week
- Sleep elevated to minimize swelling
- Avoid shaving for 10-14 days
- No gym or swimming for 2 weeks
- Follow washing instructions carefully
Maintenance
After healing, your transplanted beard requires no special maintenance. It grows like normal facial hair:
- Can be shaved daily
- Responds to beard oils and grooming products
- Grows at normal facial hair rate
- Permanent results for lifetime
