ArochaAngel4247 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I know this is early, but I want to share what our patients look like immediately following a beard transplant. I'll update as soon as he comes in for his follow-up visits. This patient did not have a beard and desired a full beard transplant. Dr. Arocha performed a 2000 graft FUE (follicular unit extraction) beard transplant. The after images were taken immediately following his procedure.

Regular Member Briguy Posted November 18, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2019 Does Dr. Arocha transplant Beard grafts to the scalp. I have already had a fut and fue and want to keep the rest of my donor scalp. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi LonelyGraft, The patient had very nice density and it will not be missed from that particular area. Doc took some from the side, but had he needed more grafts, he would have continued advancing toward the temporal area. Thank you! Representative and Patient Educator for: Dr. Bernardino A.

The beard is the next best donor to use for scalp since the anlagen growth phase lasts about a year - not quite as good as scalp, which is two to six years.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted January 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2020 Impressive....and all growing naturally. Nice shingling effect. Can't help but observe how well it matches the mustache. Great work Doctor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mycroft Posted January 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2020 Definitely a big improvement here. Are the timelines for facial hair transplants any different than scalp transplants? I'd assume they're similar since they use the same donor, but I don't know if recipient area influences this at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted January 10, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 10, 2020 This is seriously impressive. It looks so natural. It doesn’t look like scalp hair. Congrats to the patient and the doc! You guys did right by this man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member LaserCap Posted January 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2020 No. The recipient area will have a negligible effect but only just so. Interesting. Some years ago I asked about the quality of the hair. Would the hair take the characteristics of the hair located in the recipient area? Answer - not really. The area will have a very slight effect but not much. So, the hair in the beard will now grow a lot quicker which means a bit more maintenance trimming. But I wouldn't mind if I had that result!

The timeline isn't necessarily any different, but doc has seen an accelerated timeline of growth in some recent beard transplant patients. Representative and Patient Educator for: Dr. Bernardino A.
