Hello and thank you for your question. From what I can tell from your photo I would say about 2000 grafts could be used. I highly recommend a in person consultation for a more accurate assessment. Best wishes to you.Dr. T
The average beard, assuming we work just below the jawline, can donate 1800 to 2200 grafts total. In your case, your beard donor area appears incredibly dense, so I anticipate easily twice that number.
Beard extraction for placement in to the head is becoming more common, especially for those with high graft count demands. The total number of grafts that can be safely extracted prior to over harvesting the beard depends on the natural density and size of the beard.I feel that at any one time, about 1000 to a maximum of 1500 can be safely extracted in those with higher beard densities. Lower density beards may be in the 500 to 1000 range. The maximal amount over multiple procedures may exceed 3000 prior to the appearance of depletion for dense beards.I have completed over 3000 beard extractions on single patients without signifiant appearance of depletion. To do it safely, several procedures separated by at least 6 months were required.
The beard contains at least 3000 follicular unit from under the chin to be used as a donor area which are mostly 1 hair each in the average person, but I have seen some with two hair groups. Beard hair, like scalp hair has a long anagen phase of its growth cycle and will grow long, but the texture is often different than scalp hair being more kinky.
Hello, According to the photos, 1200 grafts should be implanted. I recommend getting your personal doctor's opinion as well.
None of the above conditions prohibits you from going forward with a successful beard transplant.Simply refrain from using the Nizoral shampoo for 3 weeks following the surgery.Hair follicles are placed just a few mm below the skin and pose no threat when the patient has chin implants.
Single haired follicular grafts are the ideal beard transplant. Removing some of it with FUE might work to solve your problem
Judging from your picture your beard is a mix of both white and dark hairs. To remove all the white hair follicles would be quite some task. If your goal is to remove hair because of colour why not just use a colour to change the hair colour to match the surrounding darker hairs. There would be...
Bumps can occur even in the best of hands. The key is that after the extraction, the grafts are looked at under the microscope and the excess skin surrounding the follicle is there is trimmed. This is why beard cases are more complex! Hope that helps!
Hi, it is not uncommon to have some discolouration post-transplant over the recipient area, be it scalp or facial area. 1.5 months post-transplant is still considered a fairly short period. It could be due to residual bruises or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Most of...
