Having a very thick beard is something that not all men can say they have; If you want to let it grow, it will only grow in certain parts of the face, but never like other men can grow it naturally. If you can get a full beard like you want, a drastic solution is a facial hair transplant with which those spaces can be filled and get the most natural appearance possible.

Whether due to genetics or any other factor, for many men growing a beard is practically impossible. However, with Cancun Hair Restoration you can have the appearance you always wanted with a facial hair transplant that follows the same procedure as hair grafts with the FUT and FUE hair transplant techniques in order to get the best results.

FACIAL HAIR TRANSPLANT WITH CHR

If what you want is to have a thicker beard, the first thing you have to do is contact us. In this way, we will schedule an appointment for you with any of the plastic surgeons at our hair restoration centers in Mexico so that they can closely evaluate your case. We’ll give you the cost of the facial hair transplant and all the important information about the procedure.

The doctor will see if you are a candidate for this procedure, because, as facial hair transplant is an invasive treatment, he has to make sure that it will not expose your health and that you will obtain the best results, although the risks in this type of operation are very low. We have the best facial hair transplant surgeons with best experience and knowledge in cosmetic treatments.

Since the cost of the facial hair transplant is an important part, the doctor should verify that you can remove enough hair follicles for transplant on the first appointment. This is another point that the doctor who reviews your case will take into account so that your investment is 100 percent insured. If there are not enough follicles, maybe some other treatment will be better for you.

FACIAL HAIR TRANSPLANT: THE PROCEDURES

Like hair transplant procedures, at Cancun Hair Restoration, we follow the same FUE and FUT extraction techniques. Both appear to be very simple, but require the expert hand of the best plastic surgeons in facial hair transplant to perform it. For hair transplant we also have the ARTAS machine, but is not necessary for this kind of procedure.

  • FUE Hair Transplant: This consists of the individual extraction of the hair follicles and then placing them on the face. The advantage of this treatment for facial hair transplant is that it doesn’t leave visible scars, neither in the donor area nor where they are placed. It’s a little more expensive, but the results you’ll get are amazing, so is definitely worth it.
  • FUT Hair Transplant: This hair transplant technique consists of removing a strip from the donor area, usually from the nape of the head, to extract the largest number of hair follicles for the facial hair transplant. Because a greater number of grafts are extracted, with this technique you will achieve a fuller beard.

Depending on the number of hair follicles that the doctor can extract, it will be how great the results of your facial hair transplant will be. Most of the time it takes between 2000 and 5000 grafts to achieve a full beard. In case you just need to fill some spaces you are not going to need more than that.

FACIAL HAIR TRANSPLANT IN CANCUN HAIR RESTORATION

A procedure like a facial hair transplant takes a detailed process to make sure it is done in the best possible way. Although the operation consists of 3 steps, there are previous phases that we take into consideration so that it is carried out perfectly. These are two phases that are taken into consideration in the first appointment(s) with the surgeon.

These are:

  • Pre-assessment: The first phase consists of an assessment prior to the facial hair transplant to ensure that the patient is suitable for the operation. If you are not in good health or physical condition, the surgery may not take place; The plastic surgeon will ask for analyzes and previous studies to rule out any risk.
  • Beard design: Once it has been determined that the patient is viable for the operation, the next thing will be to make the design that he will have for his facial hair transplant. The purpose is to give it a natural appearance and that the results are optimal; therefore, this phase can only be performed by an expert hair restoration surgeon.

Once we have carried out these two phases during the first meetings with the plastic surgeon who will carry out your hair transplant, we’ll tell you the date and time it will take place. Unlike a hair transplant on the head, this one is shorter and one session will be enough for everything to be ready.

The facial hair transplant surgery that we carry out at Cancun Hair Restoration consists of 3 basic steps, these are: the harvesting of the hair follicles, the grafting of each of them and the recovery period. While the first ones are done during surgery, the third may take a couple of weeks and for the final result it could take for a couple months.

  1. Harvest: Depending on the technique used, this step will be carried out differently, which consists of obtaining as many hair follicles as possible so that the facial hair transplant is a success. It is completely painless, as we have a specialist who is responsible for the application of local anesthesia.
  2. Implantation: With all the extracted follicles ready, the doctor will begin to place them on the face one by one. For this, he will delimit very well where to place them and design the patterns very well so that they have a natural appearance. You’ll have to indicate the area in which you want the facial hair transplant to take place.
  3. Recovery: At the end of the surgery, the doctor will indicate all the care that you should have during the next few weeks so that you have good results. The appearance of scabs where the grafts were made is normal, but in no more than 10 days they will begin to disappear. 3 to 2 weeks later, the few hairs you see will start to fall out, but it’s also part of the recovery.

It is vitally important that the three steps are carried out in the best way possible and you follow all the doctor’s guidance according to medical indications. If you don’t follow all the care, the final results will not be those projected before the facial hair transplant. So, if you want your beard to look weird or in need of other intervention take good care of yourself.

RECOVERY PHASE OF THE FACIAL HAIR TRANSPLAT

Once the facial hair transplant is finished, the doctor will indicate all the care you must have in the coming days, weeks and months so that the results are what you hope to have. Therefore, it is very important that you carry them out perfectly, because if you do not do them you will only waste the money you invested in the operation.

We divided the recovery phase into 5 parts so you can see your own progress:

  1. Four days after the operation: We’re not going to lie to you, you’ll have a lot of discomfort these first days; your skin will be very sensitive and you may have some inflammation. It’s important that you keep the area where the facial hair transplant was performed clean and that you take the medications that were indicated to you.
  2. Two weeks after the operation: The discomfort you had the first few days will hardly be there anymore; what you’ll begin to notice is the appearance of crusts and skins that came out after the operation due to the extraction and placement. These will gradually disappear, so you don’t have to worry.
  3. Two months after the operation: At this point you’ll already begin to see the results of the facial hair transplant, since the follicles have already established themselves in the area where they were placed. Between the second and third month, you will be able to see how facial hair begins to grow, but this will not be the final phase.
  4. Four months after the operation: All the hair that was placed during the facial hair transplant is already beginning to grow more widely. You will also notice that it is stronger and the texture, thickness and caliber of your beard has increased, especially if you compare it to how it was before the intervention.
  5. Eight to twelve months after the operation: At this point, you will already be able to appreciate the final results of the facial hair transplant. According to our experience with other patients, at 8 months you will notice 80 percent of the hair grafted as a beard and by a year you will see how it turned out.
