beard hair transplant

[skotya]

Hello all,

I am calling anyone who have had beard hair transplant and I mean by that to grow the beard itself not to be mistaken for head loss. I have had electrolysis done on both lines of upper cheeks which resulted in a very unnatural looking and distorted look. It was because of misunderstanding and to be honest it was my fault that I didn't explain correctly. I regret it but anyways no times for that. I am looking to fill these lines to look natural using FUE method.

I have thick beard so I am hoping that the hair which grow under my jaw ( on the neck) or maybe few hairs from the beard itself to compensate with my loss. As I said I have very thick beard and black in color. I thought if they transplant from the beard itself it would look more natural but I am open for getting hairs from head to the beard.

What would you suggest please it's my face it looks fake and everybody is asking me about it. I feel very embarrassed. I don't shave because of many reasons and the option about just keep shaving is not for me. I just want t look natural nothing else.

I live in the UK but i have a brother who lives in Miami. Could you refer me to someone experienced with beard restoration ?

Would there be any scars or marks left in the beard or the donor ? it's a very delicate procedure.

Please help me I would be very thankful I am very depressed.

I don't shave because of many reasons and the option about just keep shaving is not for me.

Is having the rest of your beard removed via electrolysis an option for you? That way you would never need to shave again. Think of all the money you would save on razors and shaving gel.

No, not an option at all due to many reasons, as I said the bad electrolysis was a mistake of misunderstanding but anyways it happened and I need to move forward.

I just need to fix the lines to look natural not fake and I am willing to pay for the best surgen as long as I would get the results I want. I am realistic and don't think it's an easy job but I don't require to much of hairs as well.

Can anyone suggest a name ? I live in the uk and willing to travel to the US as I got brother in Miami, maybe someone in Miami ?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure there are doctors who can help you then. Here is a locator list of IAHRS doctors to help you get started with your due diligence. You don't need to limit your search to the doctors on this list but I had great experience with an IAHRS doctor (Dr. Robert Haber), so I recommend them.

Skotya there are only a few world class fue doctors that have the capability to perform the procedure you require. I’m not talking about fue doctors I’m speaking world class top of the line fue doctors and the one’s that I am referring to are not on anyone’s list.

You are welcome to view my own thread “Follow My Major Repair”. I had approximately 500 beard hairs taken from an area of about 2 square inches. That is a fairly large amount for such a small area. I experienced no scarring and extremely high yield, so it is possible. My repair is still in process as it requires mutilple procedures done slowly over time.

All the best in your research and research well my friend.

Thanks , I will keep searching. Thanks for the site. I found Dr. Epstein has done many similar procedures but with all my respects to him some photos don't look natural at all.

Thank you and hope you are happy with your results.

I would appreciate if someone in this forums had similar procedure and share his experience with us. That would really help me.

I am lost

anyone.....?

Bisanga is the only Doc i know of that experiments with this stuff.

I think Dr.Cole is very experienced with FUE but unfortunately lacing pics for people who had this kind of procedure.

I saw on guy who posted in another forum his experience with Dr.Mwamba which had very nice results.

[skotya]

Anyone about Dr.Cole ?

Does Dr.Feller perform facial hair transplant ? from beard to beard just to close some scars and gabs in the cheeks ?

Hello skotya, here are some threads where you can see what is feasible.

I guess this is not as comon as we think or maybe people just "live with it" to an extend not comparable with hairloss.
I am sure that if you contact FUE surgeons with a good reputation they will give you as much information on what they do or maybe even recommend you colleagues for that particular job.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

You may also want to ask about using some finer grade hair from the scalp for that particular facial area of visual transition.

IMHO, with darker hair individuals, taking slightly finer caliber donor from the scalp by FUE can provide a potentially nicer appearing transition from thicker caliber beard transitioning to slightly finer hair into that upper cheek area that you mentioned. It looks more natural IMHO because it also softens the contrast which I believe is part of the dilemma.

You will not need as much density either because of the finer transition (contrast) just above where you have the thick current beard breakline.

That way you take away from having very thick beard hair to a more subtle transition up the cheeks.

This will take a skilled FUE doctor to perform.

Forhair the problem with what you have posted and just the clinic in general is what is exactly bullshit and what is truth. Were you even around back in 2004 as my own experience through reading and conversations leads me to believe the employee turnover rate is very high for some reason and chances are you are just another new guy.

I have been around long enough to know no one was doing beard hair back in 2004 that I know of so how exactly was your clinic teaching anyone.

Were you also using Acell back in 2004 and does what you have to say about it even have any validity or is just some type of carrot.


A direct quote from Cole 2004 that he posted to another hair loss forum.

I will say that there are many things occurring inEurope that do not occur in the USA due to more stringent control by the statemedical boards in the USA and due to legal requirements. I know that Dr.Bisanga is doing hair transplant surgery. I also know that in the USA he wasnot a licensed physician and therefore did not practice hair transplantsurgery. He never designed a hair line, he never made the recipient area, henever planned a donor extraction, and he never harvested from a donor area. Hecut and placed grafts. He cut them the way he was instructed to cut them and heplaced them where and how he was instructed to place them. He did not designany of my hairlines as Lee suggests he did and he did not control the result.He was a technician. Nothing more.
