What is Beard Transplantation?
Beard transplantation is a procedure that offers a permanent solution for men with missing or sparse beards in the facial area. Hair follicles are taken, usually from the nape area, and transplanted to the desired areas on the face. This procedure is performed using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, providing natural and aesthetic results.

Beard Transplantation Process
- Consultation and Planning: The beard transplantation process begins with a consultation to assess the patient’s expectations and facial structure. Dr. Sibel Ulusan and her team create a transplantation plan tailored to the patient’s needs. During this stage, the number of follicles to be transplanted and the target areas are determined.
- Preparing the Donor Area: The donor area, typically the nape of the neck, is numbed with local anesthesia. Hair follicles are extracted one by one using the FUE method. The patient does not feel any pain during this procedure.
- Transplantation to the Beard Area: The extracted hair follicles are carefully placed in the predetermined areas of the beard. This stage requires great attention to detail to achieve a natural appearance. Dr. Ulusan’s trademarked technique is used at this stage to ensure the best results.
Who is Suitable?
Beard transplantation is suitable for men with sparse or irregular beards, facial scars, or those who are genetically beardless. Additionally, individuals with hormonal reasons for lacking or sparse beard growth can benefit from this procedure. Candidates should be in good general health and have a sufficient number of hair follicles in the donor area.
Advantages
- Natural Appearance: Beard transplantation provides a natural and aesthetic look that complements the facial features.
- Permanent Solution: The transplanted hair follicles are permanent and will continue to grow for a lifetime.
- Increased Confidence: Individuals who achieve their desired beard appearance feel more confident.
- Minimally Invasive: Beard transplantation using the FUE method is minimally invasive and offers a quick recovery process.
Post-Transplant Recovery and Care
The recovery process after beard transplantation is usually quick and smooth. Here are some points to consider post-procedure:
- First Few Days: There may be slight swelling and redness in the transplanted area during the first few days. This is normal and will subside quickly.
- Crusting: Small crusts may form in the transplanted area. These typically fall off on their own within 7-10 days.
- Washing and Cleaning: The first washing is usually done 48 hours after the procedure. Dr. Sibel Ulusan and her team provide patients with information on proper washing techniques and care products.
- Avoid Scratching and Touching: It is important not to scratch or touch the transplanted area during the healing process.
- Activities: Avoid heavy physical activities for the first few weeks. Be cautious during sports or activities that cause sweating.
