What Is a Facial Hair Transplant?

A facial hair transplant is exactly what it sounds like. Similar to a hair transplant for hair loss of the scalp, this procedure involves taking healthy donor follicles from one area of the body (usually the base of the scalp or beneath the chin) and transplanting them into the face. A facial hair transplant can be used to fill in a patchy, uneven beard or mustache, restore fuller brows or reshape the sideburns. The goal is to help you achieve a more balanced, robust look.

Beard & Mustache Transplant

A beard and mustache transplant is designed to enhance the density of your facial hair to create a fuller, more defined appearance. Whether you struggle with patchiness or want to completely transform your look, this procedure can help you achieve your goals. Hair is carefully harvested from the donor area and transplanted into the desired areas to create a seamless, natural result that highlights your masculine features. The procedure can also be tailored to address your exact concerns, such as shaping a sharper jawline or increasing hair growth on the upper lip.

Eyebrow Transplant 

An eyebrow transplant is performed to improve the shape and density of patchy or thinning brows caused by overplucking, scarring or aging, restoring a full appearance that accentuates your best features. Individual hair follicles are harvested from healthy areas and placed in the eyebrows where they will continue to grow naturally. This procedure provides permanent results and can be customized to achieve a specific shape or arch, freeing you from the daily hassle of filling in or drawing on your eyebrows with brow pencils, henna or other temporary solutions.   

Sideburn Transplant

A sideburn transplant helps men and women achieve symmetrical, well-defined sideburns. This procedure is particularly beneficial for those who have lost sideburn hair due to surgical scars, injury or other trauma. The process involves transplanting donor hair to create fuller, more evenly shaped sideburns that enhance the overall balance of your face. It’s also a popular option for individuals transitioning from clean-shaven to a more rugged or classic look.

What Techniques Are Used in Facial Hair Restoration?

At Hair By Dr. Max, Restoration Center, we use manual follicular unit extraction (FUE) for facial hair restoration, a precise and minimally invasive technique that involves individually harvesting healthy hair follicles from a suitable donor area and implanting them where desired to improve the fullness and density of your beard, mustache, sideburns or eyebrows. 

FUE offers several advantages, including precise placement, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery period. By carefully angling and positioning each follicle, we ensure that the transplanted hair grows in a natural direction, seamlessly blending with your existing facial hair. This technique is ideal for creating a robust appearance with lasting, natural-looking results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

There are a number of reasons why people might want to consider coming to us for a facial hair transplant. Here are a few examples of patients who may be able to benefit from this procedure:

  • Men who want to create the appearance of a thicker, fuller beard
  • Anyone who has lost facial hair due to scarring, burns, or aging
  • People who are simply unsatisfied with how their facial hair looks

Candidates should also have a good amount of healthy donor hair to contribute to the procedure. Follicles are most often harvested from the base of the scalp or beneath the chin. Facial hair can continue to fill in during your 20s, so if you’re under the age of 30, we recommend waiting to see if nature will “take its course” before coming in for a transplant. 

If it sounds like you’re a good candidate for a facial hair transplant, your next step should be to schedule a consultation with Dr. Max and his team in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This procedure does not yield results overnight, so the sooner you can get the process started, the sooner you will begin to see a change. We will talk you through everything that needs to happen, including how to take care of the transplant area after the procedure to ensure the best outcome.

How Does It Work?

01

Consultation

During a consultation, Dr. Max will assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan for restoring facial hair growth, whether you’re concerned about a patchy beard or mustache, thinning eyebrows or uneven sideburns. We’ll explain what you can expect from start to finish and answer any questions you may have about your procedure.

02

Local Anesthesia Administered

Facial hair transplants are performed under local anesthesia and take two to five hours to complete, depending on the area and your desired outcome. Both the donor and implantation sites will be numb, so you should experience no discomfort during your procedure.

03

Extraction from Donor Area

Dr. Max will shave and clean the designated donor site, harvesting healthy hair follicles with precision. The most common donor sites are the back of the head or beneath the chin. Facial hair transplants are performed via FUE, a precise method that harvests donor follicles one by one for optimal results and survival rates.

04

Quality Control

This is achieved via microscopes under the watchful eye of a certified hair expert. In order to create a natural result, grafts are separated by follicular quantity. This is crucial because certain areas have a predetermined follicular unit.

05

Donor Hair Placement

The extracted donor follicles are then implanted wherever more facial hair is desired. Dr. Max will transplant the hairs individually and with impeccable precision so that the hairs will grow back naturally. Once transplanted, the new facial hairs are permanent.

06

Results

Visible results will be noticeable after three months, with full growth typically achieved within nine to 12 months. The transplanted hair will grow naturally, blending in seamlessly with your existing facial hair to ensure a fuller, more refined appearance.

WHY CHOOSE FACIAL HAIR RESTORATION PROCEDURE?

We will work with you and your hair goals to create a personalized plan and accommodate your needs. Dr. Max utilizes the same hair transplantation techniques to help improve and restore facial hair density. There are little risks involved with facial hair transplantation, and most are those associated with our standard hair transplant procedures. Because FUE is utilized to obtain the donor hair, our clients experience no linear donor scarring as well.

FAQs About Facial Hair Restoration

What Happens at My Consultation?
During your consultation, we will go over all of the details of your beard, mustache, eyebrow or sideburn transplant, from determining the best route and style for you, to answering any questions you may have regarding the procedure. At Hair By Dr. Max, Restoration Center, our patients’ desired outcomes and best interests are of the utmost importance. We are here for you when you need a facial hair transplant in Florida.
What Kind of Aftercare Should I Expect?
After your procedure, Dr. Max will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. This typically includes keeping the treated area clean, avoiding strenuous activities for a few days, and not shaving or trimming the transplanted hair right away. You’ll also be advised to avoid itching the area so you don’t dislodge the newly transplanted follicles and may need to apply a prescribed ointment to minimize the risk of infection. After a few weeks, you might notice some shedding, but this is a normal part of the regrowth process. Your facial hair will continue to grow and mature over the next three to 12 months.
Will the Transplanted Follicles Grow Long?
After a hair transplant, implanted hair follicles continue to grow just like hair from where they were taken. If the donor hair was harvested from the scalp, your new facial hair might grow longer than naturally occurring facial hair. Regular grooming, such as trimming, will help you maintain the desired length and shape of your beard, mustache, sideburns or eyebrows.
Are the Results of Facial Hair Transplantation Permanent?
Yes, the results of facial hair transplantation are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to hair loss, ensuring long-term growth. Once the donated hair follicles are established in their new location, they will continue to grow naturally, providing a durable and reliable solution for facial hair restoration.
Can I Trim and Style My Facial Hair After a Transplant?
You will be able to trim and style your facial hair normally after your transplant procedure, but it’s important to wait until the follicles have established themselves in their new area. This can take up to four weeks. Once healing is complete, you can treat your new facial hair just like the rest, trimming, shaping and styling it to achieve your desired look. Always follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions to ensure the best results. Dr. Max will provide you with a detailed recovery timeline and be available to answer any questions you have after your procedure.
What Non-Surgical Options Are Available for Restoring Facial Hair?

Non-surgical options for restoring facial hair include topical or oral DHT blockers like minoxidil or finasteride, which can stimulate hair growth by reducing the resting phase of hair growth and triggering the active growing stage, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which may improve the health, texture and density of your facial hair. During your consultation with Dr. Max, he will review all the available options and recommend the best approach for achieving your goals.
