Transplanting Hair to Face
Hello,
Can hair be transplanted to the the chin and sideburn areas of the face to fill in where facial hair does not currently grow? Have you done any of these types of procedures? I’m 30 year old white male with very little facial hair.
Best regards
We do transplant scalp hair to the face. Often with face lifts, repairs are made to the pulled back hairline and to lost sideburns. We also repair beard and mustache defects (the mustache defect is common in cleft lips). I have also had some Asians patients who had sparse facial hair and wanted it filled out more.
I often tell my patients that the good news about hair transplants from scalp hair is that if you put a hair graft on the end of your nose, it will grow to pony tail length. That is often used as an illustration of the reality that hair transplants do grow, almost anywhere you put them.
