Beard transplant, results, and am I a candidate? (Photo)

Question

I've always wanted to have a beard, unfortunately I don't have the genes to grow a full beard so I'm left to look for surgery if I ever want to sport a decent beard, I'm about to turn 27 and the beard just never came to me. I've been searching on internet but there are just so little information and pictures of people that have undergone such procedure; I want to know the rate of success and if the results I want are realistic (showed on the picture).

It looks like you would be a good candidate for Beard transplant procedure based on your photo. Its important to research some Hair Transplant Physicians who specialize in beard and facial hair restoration. There are different techniques used for HT surgery and you want to explore your options to find the best fit for you. We also recommend finding a physician that only does one surgery per day because taking time on the surgery is key for best results.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Facial hair growth is a genetic trait.  If you have very little facial hair you can consider beard transplant.  The success depends on your examination as well as the doctor you choose.  See several doctors and get an opinion.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Yes, what you want is certainly possible. You should find a doctor who has experience specifically with facial hair transplants to go in for a consultation, but your goals are reasonable and assuming you have a sufficient quality donor area there likely isn't anything that would prevent you from having the procedure.
