Although depending on the color, the truth is that in recent years sporting facial hair has become one of the most relevant male trends, beyond the ‘movember’ movement. However, something that may seem so simple, stopping shaving and going to the barber to shape that facial hair, is not for all men. Genetics, hormones, and even some diseases or medications can interfere with hair growthruining the dream of sporting a full beard. The solution for these cases is the graft. Just as hair transplantation has already been standardized to deal with alopecia, it is possible to perform grafts in other areas of the face, such as the beard (and even on the eyebrows).
The doctor walkerfrom Hospital Capilar, explains that “with the beard graft you achieve a improvement in aesthetics, both in terms of density in patients who do not have uniform hair growth, such as complete reconstruction in those who lack facial hair growth. “It is also possible to perform this procedure as reconstructive surgery to cover scars, for example, in patients who have suffered from severe acne.”
How beard grafting is performed
It is an outpatient surgery that consists, as in the case of hair implant, of extract follicular units of the donor area, which is normally the occipital region of the headbut they can also be areas such as the neck, chest and pubis. Once extracted, they are implanted in the beard according to the design previously agreed upon between doctor and patient. The number of follicular units that are implanted depends on the needs of each patient.
