Beard transplant correction help: I had a 3600 grafts beard transplant a year ago. (Photos)

Question

I'm not happy with the result for different reason: 1) density 2) hair direction3) presence of grafts with 2-3 and sometimes 4 hairs especially in moustache area. The surgeon tOld meit is possible to correct theangle of the hair in the moustache and recreate normal density. Do you thinkis it possible? Is it possible to take out the group of hair and put them as 1?How many grafts for a good moustache should be implanted? How would you judge the work?

Greg Williams, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

Full beard and moustache transplantation in men with little native facial hair should be undertaken with caution due to the risk of an unnatural appearance especially if the hair is shaved short.Creating a natural beard and moustache requires the skills of an experienced hair transplant surgeon.Patients unhappy with their natural facial hair status will be prone to dissatisfaction with a hair transplant procedure to such a prominent facial feature. The use of single hair follicular unit grafts and irregular borders will contribute to a natural appearance but even in the most skilled hands pitting and cobblestoning can still occasionally occur. This can be hidden by growing the beard hair longer. Patients should be carefully counselled before embarking on full beard hair transplants. It is very difficult to reconstruct a poor result where there is incorrect hair growth direction or a pluggy appearance from use of multi-hair follicular unit grafts.

Beard area may restored with a new HT. During the placement of follicular units there will be a mixture of single, double and a few triple grafts, which help to create the soft look of a natural hairline. For the first few lines always go for single grafts, later doubles Triples and others.So that a smooth transition will be there giving undetectable beard  transplants and  recreate normal density.. it is not possible to take out the group of hair and put them as 1.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

It is difficult for me to judge your problem such as how many of the grafts are in the wrong direction and what is the caliber of the hair. A frank discussion with your surgeon about these questions should occur
