At Cayra Clinic, we offer beard transplant procedures that can provide long-lasting results for those who are eligible. During a consultation, our doctors will evaluate your hair and skin to determine whether you’re a good candidate.

What is Beard Transplantation?
The transplantation of grafts taken from the donor area at the back of the head or lower part of the chin where the beard is dense, to the areas where beard loss is observed due to trauma, cut, or other causes, is known as a beard transplant operation. The operation, which is performed under local anesthesia, lasts about 8 hours and is painless afterward.
The rate of success with a single application is high. Some people may require a second surgery. Beard, an important appearance criterion for men in today’s world, is corrected by barbers by providing various models, but the definitive treatment for the loose beard is beard transplantation.
One of the benefits of beard transplantation is that the shaping of the beard will be done during the planning stage. Beard shape appropriate for the person’s face is chosen together, and the beard is transplanted to the person within this plan and used for life.

Beard Transplant Process and Healing
There is no visible scar after the beard and mustache transplantation, and the healing process is quick. Temporary symptoms such as redness, swelling, and dryness may occur; however, these symptoms will disappear within a few days.
Unlike hair transplantation, swelling may occur in the first 2-3 days because the transplanted area is the face, which is more sensitive. However, these symptoms are reduced if the patient follows the recommendations after the procedure, such as taking medications and applying ice.
Post-operative pain is uncommon in patients who are followed up on. One of the most dangerous situations is sleeping position. While the face is being treated in surgery, the patient should lie in the proper position so as not to harm the transplanted grafts. The information required for this is shared with patients after the beard transplant procedure at Cayra Clinic.
It may take up to a week for the individual to return to work following the operation. Although there are no medical issues with returning to work in 2-3 days, we recommend that the patient make a business plan to rest for at least one week following the surgery.
Due to his reservations, it will also shield him from prying eyes and questions about his appearance. During this time, the skin will heal, beards will grow and form, and swelling and redness will subside.
The period of 2-3 weeks will satisfy the patient, cause him to receive positive feedback from others, and help him understand that he made the right decision by having the operation.
However, there will be some shedding in the transplanted hair follicles in the area where the beard transplant is performed for a short period of time. During this time, patients may lose up to 50-80 percent of the beard follicles transplanted. However, this transplanted hair will begin to grow again in the third and fourth months. The process is depicted in detail in the chart below.,

Hair loss is not expected in beard transplantation or any other type of hair transplantation under normal circumstances. However, in amateur operations, if roots are taken from outside the safe donor area and are sensitive to testosterone, hair loss may occur in the future. Nonetheless, beard transplantation performed by clinics that do their job correctly and properly will result in a beautiful and optimal outcome.
How many Grafts will be needed for Beard Transplant?
Although graft calculation for beard transplantation differs from patient to patient, it is influenced by face type, current beard condition, patient desire, and beard style. The area to be transplanted is measured in our clinic prior to the operation.
The required density is calculated based on the thinness and thickness of the person’s hair. The number of grafts taken from the patient’s safe donor area influences the quality of the beard transplant.
How do you know if a beard implant is Effective?
Regardless of the procedure used, the transplanted hair follicles should be settled and grow within 3 or 4 months.
If, after 8 or 9 months, you have a full, healthy beard that you can treat as if it had always been there, the beard implant was successful.
FUE and DHI both produce natural-looking beards, but DHI beards are fuller.
This is due to the fact that when a strip of skin is removed, more follicles are usually harvested.
Beard transplant failure is uncommon and is usually the result of improper donor area harvesting. This is why it is critical and worthwhile to choose an experienced hair restoration surgeon.

The harvested area on your head and the implanted area on your face will require special care following surgery. Both locations must be kept clean.
Instructions for at-home care
Your doctor will give you instructions for at-home care. These could include applying antibiotic ointment to your scalp and face.
- Swimming, exposure to direct sunlight, and smoking in a sauna or hot tub are all activities to avoid for at least the first few days.
- strenuous physical activity, particularly anything that makes you sweat, touching, rubbing, or scratching the harvested or implant areas
- It is possible that you will be advised not to wash your face for a few days or to avoid scrubbing. Your skin will be sensitive and itchy, but try to leave it alone to avoid irritation and infection.
Possible side effects
The following side effects may occur on your face and scalp:
- swelling
- redness
- tightness
- numbness
- crustiness or temporary scabs
Scarring in the donor area is common, but it is often hidden by natural hair growth. FUE leaves numerous small, often inconspicuous scars. FUT, on the other hand, leaves a long, distinct scar on the back of the head. That’s why, FUT method for beard transplant is not suggested. DHI technique or FUE is the best recently.
The implant areas on your face should not scar, but there may be some temporary scabs. If the crustiness, redness, swelling, or irritation persists after a few weeks, consult your doctor.
