Is it possible to achieve extremely thick density with a beard transplant? (photo)

Question

Is it possible to achieve extremely thick density with a beard transplant, even if the transplant area is entirely hairless before? I have added a photo of which I consider to be extremely thick density. Many thanks

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Many things are possible but it may not be possible for your particular case.  A doctor would need to examine your donor hair and you would have to understand you may need multiple surgeries.

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

Achieving density in a beard transplant is dependent on multiple factors.  A few factors include: the pre-existing density, the density of the donor hair, and the quality of the donor hair.  This being said there are so many grafts that can be placed in one transplant per square centimeter.  It is common to have a secondary procedure after 10 months to create further density if so desired.

The
desired density may not be possible but with multiple procedures you can get
close. I would advise not to think of it solely from a density standpoint but
from an overall visual change in your look. If you have little facial hair to
begin with and we can get you good density and consistency throughout the
areas, that will be a dramatic change. I'd suggest finding a hair transplant
specialist that has done a lot of facial hair procedures and discuss your goals
and see if the expectations and possibilities align.

No , I think that it is impossible to achieve extremely thick (as normal) density with a beard transplant.. but even we can not achieve a normal scalp /beard density, we can transfer 3000-3500 grafts from scalp hair to beard area and it result very good density to satisfy patient .

Robert S. Houser, DO · Answer

Beard hair is more course than scalp hair, and that is usually what we are using to make a beard. So, a transplanted beard will be a bit softer. Also, the grafts can only be packed in so tight. A secondary procedure may be needed to increase the density. Good luck!
