Beard transplant

Donor site and beard transplant

We usually prefer the hair at the back of the neck for a beard transplant. In case of insufficient donor hair follicles, hair is taken from other body parts such as arms, legs and chest and this may be the best alternative. Beard transplantation is suitable for patients with male pattern hair loss (MPH), but not possible in other types of baldness. Alopecia universalis patients have no hair on their scalp and body, so such a procedure would not be possible.

Successful and natural-looking beard transplant results often depend on the characteristics of the donor site; If the patient's scalp hair is short and curly, they will look much better as a beard. However, if the patient has long straight hair, then there will be textural inconsistency and this will result in an unnatural appearance. Therefore, using body hair instead of hair follicles will provide the best results for people with straight hair.
