What decides the success rate of facial/beard hair transplant?

Question

Will the transplanted hairs look like the facial hairs I already have (they are very very small and fine. I have very few of them…) or will they appear like real thick facial hairs? I'm afraid that after doing a beard transplant, the hairs will grow like the one I already have, which mean that they will look very thin and small. Do you also recommend the use of minoxidil after the transplantation (maybe start using it one month after the transplantation ?) ? can that enhance the results ?

Success rate of facial/beard hair transplant or any cosmetic surgery is largely dependent on the doctor or clinic that consistently produce successful results.

yes, the transplanted hairs look like the donor area, the facial hairs that you have I already had. So,they may grow very small and fine. But an experienced surgeon and good cooperation may make you happy with that material!

The most important determining factor is the skill of the surgeon you choose. Do your research well. If you are not a good candidate a reputable hair transplant surgeon will tell you. Avoid a bad hair transplant. Do not have a beard transplant if you are not a good candidate.

The success of a good facial beard transplants reflects the skill and experience of the surgeon. The hair character reflect the donor source hair
