How The Beard Transplant Process Takes Place
Preliminary Examination: Before the procedure, the patient's health status, expectations and suitability for beard transplant are evaluated. For this, the patient is consulted. The specialist doctor examines whether the patient has hair follicles suitable for transplant.
Apart from the donor area being suitable, it is just as critical that the graft amount is sufficient and healthy. A person who successfully overcomes the entire preliminary examination process can proceed to the operation phase.
Anesthesia: The patient is sedated during the beard transplant operation. Thanks to this condition, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Sedation anesthesia method is applied by specialist doctors for a comfortable operation.
Collection of Hair Roots: Hair follicles are collected from the donor area, usually the nape of the neck, using the appropriate method. Care must be taken not to damage the hair follicles. Otherwise, the grafts to be transplanted may lose their resistance and even their health.
Protection of Grafts: Hair follicles collected with great care are preserved in a special solution. In this way, the grafts are made ready for the procedure and are protected from any external damage or the risk of losing their health.
Canal Opening for Beard Transplant: Before the operation, a decision is taken between the patient and the doctor for the area to be transplanted. This decision provides an important convenience during the procedure. In the operation, the doctor, acting according to the area to be transplanted, opens channels in the area. It should be noted that the channels opened are determined according to the patient's expectations and health status.
Beard Transplant: The grafts preserved in a special solution are activated when the transplant phase begins. The amount of grafts transplanted into the channels is determined according to the patient's decision and health structure. It is also necessary to pay attention to the depth and direction of the transplanted hair follicles in beard transplant. After a transplant where these rules are not applied, irregular and misshapen growth may occur.
Post Procedure Care: A patient who does not pay attention to post-procedure care may get a negative result from beard transplant. Therefore, he/she should pay attention to follow the advice given by his/her doctor and not to disrupt the medications he/she should use. After the beard transplant procedure is completed, it is also shown how to clean and wash the area.
