Beard and Mustache Transplantation
Beard-Mustache Transplantation; familial factors include the transfer of hair follicles from the donor area to non-beard areas in order to ensure that those who do not have a beard or are missing in certain areas of their face due to their genetic structure, accidents or various diseases, have a more uniform appearance.
In beard-mustache transplantation, FUE method or DHI technique is used similar to hair transplantation. If the roots in your face and neck are insufficient, different parts of the body can also be used as donor sites.
In the operation performed under local anesthesia, no serious pain or leakage is observed. . In the postoperative period, there is no scar or suture.
Beard-mustache transplantation operations, which last for approximately 2-3 hours, is a micro-surgical operation that can be performed to anyone who has a general health condition after 24 years of age.
The grooves on the skin are opened with needles called punch micro punch ındaki with a diameter of 0.6 - 0.7 mm. In this way, no trace of the operation occurs.
As with hair transplantation, the patient does not need to be hospitalized after beard-mustache transplantation.
Small red dots may occur after the operation. These red spots are blood clots and are useful for nourishing the cultivated beard roots. They disappear completely in about one week.
After the second week, the beard-mustache can be shortened with scissors.
After the second week, an event called shock shedding takes place. After the shock is shed, the whole of the beard grows between 4 and 8 months.
After the operation, it is recommended to shave the beard after 1 month in order to keep the roots in place.
Treatment process
Beard-to-beard retrieval process
: If the person wants to beard sowing process proceeds more easily because the beard grafts taken from the beard can be adapted more easily to the beard counting is performed only after the process is carried out.
Beard sowing process:
Hair or beard grafts taken from the cabinet where they are stored after transplantation begins. local anesthesia is applied to the beard and sowing begins. The grafts are placed one by one on the DHI (implant pen) pens with a diameter of 0.6 and seeded one by one according to the direction of the beard. The reason for using a pencil with a diameter of 0.6 is to prevent the formation of squeezing marks on the person's face. After the procedure, the next day dressing and 4th day washing procedures are performed in our polyclinic.
Travel, your stay and aftercare
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for 2 days in Antalya for this procedure. A final check-up takes place before you fly home — you are only cleared to travel after it. Combined procedures can require a longer stay.
When can I fly after surgery?
You are cleared to fly home only after your final check-up — for this procedure typically after 2 days. Do not fly earlier, even if you feel fine: your doctor decides based on wound healing. You are given guidance for the flight.
When can I go back to work and exercise?
For a mainly desk-based job, expect around 3 days. Physically demanding work, sport, sauna and swimming take considerably longer and are cleared individually at your check-up. Going back to full activity too early is one of the most common reasons for a poorer result.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away — the same person who looked after you in Antalya, by WhatsApp or phone. Send photos of the area; the assessment is made together with the doctor who operated on you. We then work out whether it can be treated where you live — we provide your surgical records and medical reports for that — or whether coming back to Antalya makes sense. For acute symptoms such as severe pain, fever, breathlessness or sudden swelling, go to your nearest emergency department first and tell us afterwards.
