A beard transplant is a very common procedure which involves enhancing the growth of facial hair or constructing a new beard by transplanting scalp hair. The treatment begins by understanding the facial dimension, and then the surgeon harvests the hair follicles from the back of the scalp. Those harvested hair follicles are implanted in the face through tiny incisions to create a new beard.
The most common technique for beard transplant is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). In some cases, FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is also used.

The process of hair transplant includes the following steps-
Irrespective of your choice of method, the first step will be harvesting the hair that will be transplanted. The head will be shaved to get a clear view of the scalp. A local anesthetic will be administered to ensure that the patient doesn’t feel any kind of pain or discomfort during the extraction of the strip or hair follicles.
After the follicles are transplanted, they are cleaned by a technician before implantation. Local anesthesia is then injected into the area where the hair follicles need to be transplanted. The surgeon will implant each follicle into the targeted area in the proper shape of a beard.
A person is considered a good candidate for beard transplantation as long as he has healthy hair on the scalp. People with male pattern baldness often request to get a beard transplant but can’t do so because of the limited hair on the scalp.
During the initial consultation, the surgeon always ensures that the patient has realistic expectations from the procedure. Another factor that is considered crucial is the patient’s medical and mental health. If the patient has some disorder, such as an autoimmune disease or impaired healing, he may be ineligible for the procedure.
If so, the doctor will suggest alternative treatment methods.

The preparation for beard transplant surgery starts weeks before the procedure is scheduled to take place. The patient is given the following instructions-
On the day of surgery, the patient is asked to avoid drinking coffee and other caffeinated beverages as they can cause jitters during the procedure. If there is any other precaution that needs to be taken before the treatment, the doctor or his/her team will instruct the patient accordingly.
Patients who undergo beard transplants may experience the following side effects-
Most of these side effects are temporary and often resolve on their own after some time. Even the scars become unnoticeable after the beard hair starts to grow. And the scarring on the scalp also gets covered with hair growth.
Immediately after the beard transplant, you can expect mild discomfort or tenderness in the face and scalp.
In the next few days, this will resolve as the donor and recipient area heals. When the skin heals, scabs will also start to form around the follicles, which is natural. The scabs will automatically fall off in the next few days.
The transplanted beard hair may also shed in two weeks. Don’t get alarmed, as the shedding doesn’t impact the long-term growth of beard hair.
The overall recovery period after a beard transplant is around 2-6 weeks which varies for each patient. From the day of surgery, till you get the desired results, you will have to take care of several things.
The results of a beard transplant can take around 2 to 6 months to appear. During this period, it’s crucial to be patient and follow the doctor’s instructions strictly. Within a year, the final results will appear, and the patient will have a denser and full-grown beard which looks completely natural.
