Hello, I’m Doctor Jaehyun Park at Dana Plastic Surgery. For some people, it might sound unfamiliar but Today I will talk about beard transplant. Using the hair on the beard to transplant on the head which is also possible vice versa. But today I’m going to talk about beard to hair transplant. Beard to hair transplant

Our clinic has gained its fame partially due to beard hair transplant. I will talk about the pros and cons of beard transplant and the main facts that you should all know before undergoing such procedure. In what circumstances is beard transplant suitable? First of all, in what circumstances do we use hair on the beard? One of the best cases would be if the patient is

willing to get a short hair cut and needs to cover up his crown area. And also, if the patient does not want scarring on the back of the head. this can be a great method to transplant hair. By using this method, there will be no scarring on the back of the head. Additionally, if it’s a severe case of hair loss and the patient needs more than 5000 grafts

the amount of hair on the back of the head will not be enough. For instance, if we need 4000 grafts but was only capable of 3000 grafts from the back of the head we can extract rest of the 1000 grafts from the beard. If the first operation was done by FUT and you need a second operation you could either use FUE or in order to cover the FUT scar it has to be

Covered by other hair so it will be a waste if it is used from the hair from the back. In this case, we could use the hair on the beard to cover up the FUT scar. It can be a good indication. So if it’s mass transplantation or the early stages of crown hair loss or if you don’t want scar on the back of the head beard transplant could be a good option.

Will the scar be visible after beard transplant? The thing that people are most curious about is Will there be scarring after beard transplant? This is the first thing they ask no matter what. We have enough research and cases about this matter. In 2013, I was the first to publish a thesis about

women’s hairline correction revision surgery. I talked about using the FUE method to remove grafts on the forehead that had been implanted by mistake. I introduced this method as well and said that If the size of the punch is less than 0.8mm the scar will not be visible. The same goes for the beard. If the size of the punch

is less than 0.8mm the scar will not be visible. We have a lot of experience with beard transplant and since we used small-sized punch We never had any complaints about visible scars. However, you still have to be careful to stay away from UV light and always use sunblock for 6 months after surgery.

Downside & precautions for beard transplant Then what is the downside of beard transplant? The downside is that it is uncomfortable right after surgery. It will be uncomfortable to wash your face for a few days because of the bandage. Additionally, beard only produces one hair follicles. It does not have 2 or 3 in one graft.

However, the hair follicle is thick which is not suitable for the front of the head. It is usually used to increase the density on the crown of the head. The biggest flaw Korean’s have is that they do not have enough beard to use from. Caucasians, especially people from India and the middle east has several thousands of hair just on the beard alone.

On the other hand, there are extremely few Korean’s who have a lot of beard. Are there any precautions if you are thinking about beard transplant? You should shave 2~3 days before the day of surgery and let it grow before you visit the hospital. Rinse your face thoroughly and do not put any make up. Other than that, there are no real precautions

but to follow the precautions for ordinary hair transplant. Beard transplant is a great alternative donor area which supplements the limited donor area on the back of the head. It is spotlighted for being an excellent alternative donor. Our clinic is actively and regularly undergoing beard transplant with great results. In conclusion, visit a clinic with

A lot of experience and consult with an expert in order to Find the best possible solution for you. "Next episode: Female hairline correction secondary revision surgery"
