Answer: Can a Beard, Eyebrow & Hairline Transplant Be Done If One Has Had Forehead & Skull Implants? Hair transplants, including those to the beard, eyebrows, and hairline, can often still be performed safely in individuals with facial or cranial implants, including jaw, cheek, and forehead implants. The key factor is the depth and placement of those implants relative to the superficial layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue where hair grafts are typically implanted. In most cases, hair transplant procedures do not penetrate deeply enough to interfere with the implants themselves. However, careful preoperative planning is essential. Your surgeon will need to be fully aware of the type, size, and location of each implant to avoid any complications during channel creation or graft placement. As for the timing, if you are planning a skull implant in the future, it’s generally safer to complete any major cranial surgeries first, allowing sufficient healing time before undergoing hair restoration procedures. This reduces the risk of interfering with the surgical area or disrupting the integrity of the implant. Imaging or surgical reports may be helpful to your provider when making this decision. Always consult with both your craniofacial surgeon and your hair restoration specialist to ensure a coordinated approach.

Answer: Can a beard, eyebrow & hairline transplant be done if one has had forehead & skull implants? Hello, Thank you for your question! A beard, eyebrow, and hairline transplant can be safely performed even with existing or planned jaw, cheek, forehead, or skull implants. The depth of the transplant incisions is superficial and does not extend anywhere near the implant sites, as the grafts are placed in the upper layers of the scalp or skin. Whether you have the skull implant done before or after the transplant is generally a matter of personal preference and surgical planning. However, I recommend consulting with both your implant surgeon and your hair restoration specialist to coordinate the procedures. This ensures optimal healing, minimizes risks, and helps achieve the best outcomes. Best regards, Dr. Marco Barusco

Answer: Safely Combining Facial Implants with Hair, Beard, and Eyebrow Transplants Yes, a beard, eyebrow, and hairline transplant can generally be performed safely, even if you’ve had implants in areas like the forehead, jaw, or cheek, and it’s possible to plan this around any future skull implant. In hair and eyebrow transplants, the depth of the needle and channels for hair grafts are relatively superficial, meaning they do not reach down to the implant level. Typically, these procedures only penetrate a few millimeters into the skin, which is well above the implants, ensuring they won’t interfere or trigger any issues with them. If you’re considering the skull implant in the future, it may be helpful to discuss timing with your surgeons to create an optimal plan. In most cases, a hair transplant can be done before or after such an implant without compromising results or safety.
