A mustache hair transplant is a procedure performed to enhance the growth of facial hair. It involves harvesting healthy follicles from the scalp and implanting the follicles in the mustache area. Mustache is generally considered a sign of masculinity in males in India. However, some men cannot grow a proper mustache and/or beard due to several reasons, such as genetic and hereditary factors, lifestyle issues, injuries, etc.
Mustache transplant gives such men a good option to get the desired and natural-looking mustache. Whether the patient’s mustache hairs are thin, patchy, or sparse, the advanced mustache transplant techniques will allow them to grow thick and attractive mustaches.
