Advances in hair restoration techniques have made it possible to transplant hair to non-scalp areas of the face. These specialized facial hair transplantation techniques can be used to restore areas where facial hair growth is missing, including mustache, sideburn, and cheek areas. The procedure may also be used to stimulate growth in areas where hair has never grown before or to conceal facial scars, with very natural-appearing results.
Reasons for Facial Hair Restoration
Loss of facial hair may occur for a number of reasons, including genetics, surgery, burn damage, or other injury. Adding facial hair where there was none previously may also be desired for various reasons, including female-to-male transgender conversions, or to sculpt customized mustache or beard lines.
How is Facial Hair Restored?
As with hair transplanted on the head, the donor hairs for a facial hair transplant come from the “Everlasting Hair” on the back or sides of the scalp, and in most cases transplanted by the FUE technique. Once transplanted, these hairs are permanent and typically grow just like facial hair, with similar texture, growth direction, and other characteristics. Furthermore, the transplanted hair can be shaved just as you would other facial hair.
A patient’s unique goal for this procedure can vary from filling in thin coverage of a limited area to restoring a thick, full goatee or beard. The artistic options are limitless, and the Celebrity surgical team’s experience with all types of hair restoration technologies allows us to produce remarkable, permanent results for our clients.
