Beard Transplant has become an increasingly popular option for men who struggle with patchy or sparse facial hair growth. While some men are genetically predisposed to a lack of facial hair, others may experience hair loss due to scarring or injury. At Cayra Clinic, we offer beard transplant procedures that can provide long-lasting results for eligible patients. Our doctors will evaluate your hair and skin during a consultation to determine whether you’re a good candidate. While there are risks associated with any medical procedure, a beard transplant can be a permanent solution for those who are willing to invest in the cost and recovery time.
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 regions where beard loss is observed due to trauma, cuts, 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. Beards, an important appearance criterion for men today, are corrected by barbers by providing various models, but the definitive treatment for loose beards is beard transplantation.
One of the benefits of beard transplantation is that the beard is shaped during the planning stage. BA beard shape is appropriate for the person chosen together, and the beard is transplanted to the person within this plan and used for life.

Which Method is Best for Beard Transplant in Turkey?
The micro FUE method is used to remove hair from beards. Sapphire FUE beard transplantation involves opening the canals with sapphire blades. Additionally, we perform beard transplants using the DHI Method.
Where is Hair Taken for Beard Transplant?
Depending on the patient, hair for transplantation is taken from the back of the person around the neck and jawbones where the beard is dense.
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 but 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. 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 to not harm the transplanted grafts. The information required for this is shared with patients after the beard transplant procedure at Cayra Clinic.
The individual may return to work up to a week after 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 2-3 weeks period 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. Patients may lose up to 50-80 percent of the beard follicles transplanted during this time. 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.
Is the Beard Transplant Shed?
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 before the operation.
The required density is calculated based on the thinness and thickness of the person. The number of grafts taken from the ppatient’sarea influences the quality of the beard transplant.
How do you know if a beard implant is Effective?
Regardless of the procedure, 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 because more follicles are usually harvested when a strip of skin is removed.
Beard transplant failure is uncommon and is usually the result of improper donor area harvesting. This is why choosing an experienced hair restoration surgeon is critical and worthwhile.
Are there any precautions or side effects that should be taken?
Following surgery, the harvested area on your head and the implanted area on your face will require special care. Both locations must be kept clean.
Instructions for at-home care
Your doctor will instruct you on at-home care, such as 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
- You may be advised not to wash your face for a few days or to avoid scrubbing. Your skin will be sensitive and itchy but leave it alone to prevent 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 often hidden by natural hair growth. FUE leaves numerous small, usually inconspicuous scars. On the other hand, FUT leaves a long, distinct scar on the back of the head. That’s why the FUT method for beard transplant is not suggested. The DHI technique, or FUE, has recently been the best.
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.
How much does a Beard Hair Implant Cost in Turkey 2025?
In Turkey, the average cost of a beard transplant is around 1,500 Euros. Beard transplants are not inexpensive. Depending on the number of grafts required, they can cost up to 3000 Euros. Partial transplants, which fill in hairless areas on the face, can cost between 1500 and 4,000 Euros, depending on the number of grafts implanted. You should discuss this cost with your doctor during your initial consultation.
Your doctor must examine your scalp and face before the procedure to see if you are a good candidate. Depending on the doctor, that consultation visit may also be charged. When scheduling your appointment, be sure to inquire about the cost of the consultation visit.
Beard transplants are not covered by insurance because they are cosmetic procedures. Some doctors accept payments in installments, so be sure to inquire about financing options.
