Beard is a very important aesthetic unit for the male face and a masculine symbol. In some cultures beard may be valued even more than scalp hair. It is possible to use scalp hair as a donor source in order to restore beard hair that is lacking in some men. Patients who have no significant hair loss may be a good candidate for a beard transplant using FUT or FUE.
It is important to understand that in men with hair loss, a beard transplant may mean using some of the donor resources that the scalp hair may need in the future. Beard transplants are best suited for men who don’t have significant hair loss.
