I lost my mustache hair in an accident 1 year ago. Can I have a hair transplant surgery now?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear about your accident.

Yes, facial hair transplantation, including for the mustache area, can be a very effective option for restoring hair that was lost due to trauma or scarring. Since it has been one full year since your injury and you're now 19 years old, you are likely a suitable candidate, provided that:

The scar tissue is stable and healed (no signs of active inflammation or infection).

There’s adequate donor hair available, typically from the back of your scalp.

You have realistic expectations about density and the number of grafts that can be placed in scar tissue (sometimes more than one session may be needed).

Before proceeding, I recommend a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or hair transplant surgeon to evaluate the texture of the scar tissue, your overall hair growth pattern, and the most natural way to restore your mustache.

With the right care, results can be very natural and confidence-restoring. Wishing you the very best on your journey!

Warm regards,
Dr. Anna Chacon

You can regain your moustache with hair follicle transplantation, as the scar tissue of the accident you had will have completely healed within 1 year.
