Are You A Good Candidate for Beard Transplantation?

As in the case of the scalp hair transplantations, the same surgical techniques are executed during beard restoration, such as FUE and DHI. Therefore, as long as you have healthy donor hair on your scalp which match the color and texture of your facial hairs, you are likely to be considered as a good candidate for beard transplantation in terms of the surgical requirements.

The rest is up to the patient’s wishes and demands. If your facial hair is thinning, or you have a scar on your face you wish to cover, or you just want to have thicker and fuller beard, then there is no need for you to postpone the operation which will change your life, both physically and mentally.

However, there are a small number of conditions regarded as drawbacks in terms of beard restoration. For instance, if you are currently in the process of chemotherapy or treatment for alopecia universalis, it is recommended waiting a bit more before going through a facial hair transplantation. Moreover, as it is necessary to have adequate number of hairs on the scalp, patients whose bodily hair is completely lost are not considered as eligible candidates for beard transplantation.
