Beard transplant Specialists???

[Sitries1]

I’ve recently had a hair transplant with Dr Ferreira in Portugal which I’m really happy with so far (should be a great result). I also want a beard transplant using beard and body hair.  Dr Ferreira is not comfortable using anything other than beard hair for beard transplants (not scalp hair or body hair). I don’t want to use scalp hair anyway as I want to save my donor for potential 2nd HT in the future If required but I don’t have enough beard hair really to get good density. I probably need a total of 1250-1500 grafts I would say and only have 800-1000 available to move around (beard grafts). I was hoping to make the balance up with chest hair as I have an abundance of that!!

are there any surgeons that specialise in this area (beard transplants).

Could you show a photo for chest and beard

Bare in mind that you have had a hair transplant. You may require more surgery for your MPB over the life span which means that you need to preserve your donor. The beard hair transplants that I have seen posted on here that look realistic are from patients who are not suffering from MPB and use their scalp hair as the donor source for the beard. I'm not aware of any great results that were based on chest hair (although I am happy to be corrected). All the best with your research!

As mentioned - I won’t be using scalp hair for that very reason (I want to preserve my donor hair). 
 

Dr Ferreira belives even scalp hair is not ideal for beard transplants anyway.

Please elaborate?? Have you seen good results from him with regard to beards??  Also does he have a good record of using body hair?

If you think you do have about 800 to 1000 beard grafts that you can move around to better areas then why not just go ahead and do that and see how it turns out. This way you haven't had to touch other areas. If you are lucky it may improve your beard enough to not need any more. You can reevaluate at that point and then perhaps move on to filling in with some chest hair.

I have seen some YouTube vlogs on using minoxidil to improve one's beard but I can't see it increasing the number of follicles.

Yes I've heard some people say minoxidil improved their beard, so that's something that can be tried first.
