Facial Hair Restoration Update

Recently we have been seeing more male patients with concerns of lack of hair on their face where they normally try to have a full beards or mustache, the hair just will not grow in certain areas. This causes empty areas when they grow some facial hair and it looks patchy. Their option for permanent hair growth is that of a hair restoration. It pretty much follows the same principles of a hair transplantation on the scalp, where hair from the back occipital area is used for harvesting hair grafts and then moved to the area of concern (hairline, temples, top or crown).

Several things to keep in mind when doing facial hair restoration is that the grafts being trimmed might have to be adjusted to the requirements depending on the area being worked on and the caliber of the hairs around the area in order to blend it in. The direction of the hair graft will also have to match the existent hair too. This of course, is a job determined by the one who is performing the incisions or recipient sites. The hair grafts will fall right into place without having to manipulate it much in order to avoid possible damage to the hair follicle within the grafts.

Post-op care is also similar to a scalp hair transplant, which means keeping the area clean and avoiding touching the area avoiding picking the scabs. Gentle care should be given until all scabs have healed and fallen off on their own, which can take 5 to 7 days.

Realistic Optimum Results After Hair Restoration

Filling in with single hair grafts along the hair line to give it a natural look and then using the 2 and 3 hair grafts behind the hair line to increase volume is probably the best approach for this type of case.
