Beard and moustache transplant: FAQs

(If any questions you have don’t appear here, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.)

How long will a beard and moustache transplant take?

Due to the nature of the facial skin, which is more flexible than scalp skin, the grafts are generally implanted slowly to allow for a maximum control and natural view of the follicles. It takes about 3-4 hours to complete a beard transplant, compared with 2-3 hours for a scalp hair transplant; however it will depend on the area to cover and the density that you are looking for.

How many grafts should be transplanted to achieve the shape of the beard that I want?

In fact, there is no fixed number of grafts required, as it varies depending on each case. If the area of a beard transplant is free of hair, it will be necessary to implant 4500-5000 grafts, if hair intensification is required 3000-3500 grafts might suffice; and to fill in gaps in a beard, 1000-2000 grafts.

Will the hair growth of the beard area be the same as on the scalp?

There is no need to worry whether the new hair transplanted in the beard will grow exactly like the hair of the scalp: transplanted hair in the beard area will grow like any hair growing on the face, with the same quality and characteristics.

Will a beard transplantation will be painful?

Similar to any hair transplantation in the scalp, hair transplantation in the beard area does not cause any pain. The only exception is during the anaesthesia phase, which takes 2-3 minutes in the posterior area and 5 minutes in the front area; rest assured; the pain is limited to a needle prick and disappears after a few minutes.

How long does the operation take and how long should I stay in Istanbul?

Normally, you should only need to stay in Istanbul for just two days. For example, one the first day if you arrive in the morning, you will be welcomed at the airport and transferred to the hotel. After that, you will be driven to the hospital for a blood test and initial consultation. Then you have free time to explore the city.

On the second day, the operation is performed and you should rest in the hotel. The following day, you will come for a checkup and removal of the bandage, and then you are free to take your flight back home!

What are the steps/stages of a beard and moustache transplant?

In consultation with you, we will draw suggested outlines of the beard to suit the shape of your face, and when all is agreed the extraction of follicles from the donor area can begin.

After the anaesthesia has taken effect, the medical team start extracting the follicles from the donor area located behind or at the sides of your head,(at this step experience in choosing the hairs that match facial hair closely is vital; something that only an experienced team like ours can provide) and we will open the channels to receive them; just as in a scalp hair transplant.

Then hair follicles are implanted in the receiving area, taking into consideration the hair growth angles so that the resulting hair appears normal and natural.

What results and I expect from the transplant?

The Clinicana’s medical professional team aims to give you the most realistic and natural results that will stay with you until the end of your life. Our professional team restores your natural appearance by following the natural direction of hair growth. You will not be able to distinguish between your natural hair and the transplanted ones.

What are the side effects of the beard transplant?

If you properly follow the instructions given by our doctors there should be no problems.. However, as this is a surgical procedure, you can expect some redness and swelling in the facial area after the transplant (for usually about 5 days), but you will quickly get over these symptoms with good care and patience.

It is recommended for two days you eat food comfortable for your jaw; i.e. something that doesn’t need chewing, such as juices, liquids and soups, to give more stability to the grafts in the transplanted area.

Another normal side-effect is the hair falling during the first week. Don’t be alarmed! This is a stage of the hair growth cycle and it will grow back within 2-3 months. After 4-5 months you will see noticeable results in your implanted area; and finally, after 7-8 months you will enjoy the final, permanent results.

When can I shave my beard after the operation?

Hair implants should not be shaved during the first 10 days following the procedure. In general, only scissors should be used to trim the beard hair from two weeks and until the fifth month after the operation; once this period is over, you will be able to use razor blades or other shavers.

What is the cost of a beard and moustache transplant?

The cost of the package stars from €2,000 for beard transplant only. In case you wish additional services should you require them, such as accommodation and transportation, we will give you an approximated total as required.
