"Beard transplantation" is an aesthetic surgical procedure performed with the aim of achieving a denser and desired beard appearance due to sparse, lack, or irregularity in the beard area. Beard transplantation is typically carried out using hair transplantation techniques.
The procedure generally involves the following steps:
- Examination and Planning: A specialist doctor or aesthetic surgeon examines the person's facial structure to make appropriate planning. Taking into account the area for beard transplantation and the individual's expectations, a strategy is defined.
- Graft Harvesting: For beard transplantation, hair follicles are usually harvested from the back of the head. These hair follicles will later be implanted into the beard area. Hair follicles are typically harvested in individual or small groupings.
- Canal Opening: Channels are opened in the area where the beard transplantation will take place, where the harvested hair follicles will be implanted. The shape and angle of these channels are carefully determined to ensure the natural appearance of the beard.
- Graft Implantation: The harvested hair follicles are placed individually or in groups into the previously opened channels. This is done with a specific arrangement and density to achieve a natural-looking beard.
- Recovery: After the procedure, the beard transplantation area is left to heal. In the initial days, there might be crusting, redness, and swelling. However, over time, these symptoms diminish, and the beard gains a natural appearance.
Since beard transplantation is generally a surgical procedure, it should be performed by a specialist doctor or surgeon. For the procedure to be successful, the person's health condition, facial structure, beard area characteristics, and expectations should be taken into consideration. Individuals considering beard transplantation should make decisions after consulting with a specialist doctor following a detailed examination.
