For many men, being handsome is about having a fuller beard and mustache. This explains why an increasing number of men are choosing to undergo beard transplants in Turkey.
A facial hair transplant or beard transplant can beat scarring and patchiness of facial hair, just as a casual hair transplant in Turkey can beat the baldness of the scalp. The result will be more attractive, natural facial hair.
According to a recent study, beard transplants are increasingly trending among men in different countries due to their permanent results and drastic changes.
Why Should You Undergo Beard Transplant in Turkey?
Turkey has literally become a “hair transplant” hub! Different Turkish TV shows have presented an image of manly and bearded men, portraying the prettiness of men with fuller beards and mustaches.
This further contributed to making plastic surgery in Turkey the no.1 preferred choice. However, the underlying reasons that commonly motivate men to undergo beard transplants in Turkey include:
Cheap Beard & Mustache Transplants
You don’t have to spend a fortune to enhance your facial appearance! In Turkey, the cost of beard and mustache transplants is cheaper and very competitive compared to other countries. You can save a lot of money and, at the same time, spend great, unforgettable moments in Istanbul.
Experienced Beard Transplant Surgeons
Due to the high demand and increasing number of men who visit Turkey to have hair transplants, the number of well-trained, experienced beard transplant surgeons is strikingly high. Therefore, it’s not difficult to find a trustworthy surgeon to perform a beard or mustache transplant in Turkey.
Satisfactory & Great Results
According to reports, most men who visit Turkey to have beard transplant return to their homes fully satisfied with the results they get in the country. They restore their self-confidence and enjoy a fuller scalp, beard, and mustache.
Beard transplant before and after pictures in Turkey draw the attention of many men too. Thanks to the experience and quality of work of Turkish doctors, many men return to Turkey again to try other kinds of plastic surgery.
Different Techniques & Options
Turkish physicians and surgeons usually master more than one technique for beard and mustache transplants. They also may offer alternative options for those who can’t undergo surgical beard transplants. Furthermore, Turkish clinics offer not just beard transplants, but also scalp hair, eyelash, and eyebrow transplants.
All-Inclusive Packages
Many clinics in Turkey offer international patients unique and exclusive packages to cover all aspects of their treatment journey in the country. For example, International Clinics is known for its affordable packages offered for men who seek beard or mustache transplants in Turkey. The packages include accommodation, escort, and other services.
What Is Mustache & Beard Transplant?
A Beard transplant or implant is about taking hair from one part of the body (usually the scalp) and transferring it to the beard area or jawline to allow for hair growth in this particular region. Most of the time, a beard transplant encompasses a mustache transplant too.
A Beard transplant is a great option for those who lack the genetics responsible for facial hair growth. Since the beard area is hard to be treated with topical medication as is the case for the scalp area, a beard transplant remains the single most effective way to have thicker, fuller facial hair.
According to reports, the market of beard transplants is witnessing incredible growth and may reach 1.2 billion US dollars in value in the next decade.
Candidates for Beard Transplant
A beard transplant is great for men who have healthy hair on their scalp, specifically on the back of their heads.
Thankfully, the back of your head is among the last areas to go bald, so you probably have healthy hair follicles in that region by now. In addition, men who have male pattern baldness can greatly benefit from bead or mustache transplants.
Types of Beard Transplant in Turkey
In Turkey, men can try different types of beard transplants, but regardless of the type, men can successfully guarantee the transfer of 2000-2500 hair follicles to their beard areas. In any case, the most common types of beard transplant in Turkey include:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the most common technique for beard transplant. During the FUE beard transplant, your surgeon is going to take complete follicular units from the donor area.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is a less commonly used technique for beard transplant and is possibly more painful, but its results might be more pronounced. During this surgery, your surgeon is going to cut a strip of tissue from the donor site and removes the hair follicles from that tissue.
The Procedure of Beard Transplant in Turkey
After meeting with your surgeon and deciding exactly the kind of transplant you want to have, the process of transplantation may include the following:
Shaving the Area
Regardless of the technique used for beard transplantation, the first step will be shaving and preparing the donor area on the back of your head.
Harvesting the Hair Follicles
Next, your surgeon will start harvesting the hair follicles according to the protocol.
Implanting the Hair Follicles
Finally, your surgeon will implant each follicle into the targeted area in your beard after numbing it with a local anesthetic.
The Success of Beard Transplant in Turkey
After completing the process of hair transplantation and recovery, the newly transplanted hair follicles should be growing as the months go by. Most men start to enjoy a fuller beard after 8-9 months of the surgery.
In any case, the failure of a beard transplant is very rare in Turkey. Unless your surgeon is inexperienced or failed to harvest the hair properly from the donor area, you’re more likely to enjoy a successful beard transplant.
