Before the FUE was invented, it was very impractical to perform facial hair restoration as the only way to obtain the donor follicles was by means of a strip excision. However things have changed dramatically since the invention of FUE. Restoring or enhancing one's facial hair has become a very realistic and achievable goal under the hands of a skilled surgeon.
Dr. Hakan Doganay's AHD Clinic is one of the few clinics in Europe that offers facial hair restoration. A lot of times, patient request this procedure due to injuries from accidents, especially for burn victims and Dr. Doganay has helped many over the years.
Transplantation of hair, eyebrow hair and beard
hair are possible over the surfaces of burned
and scar regions. The factors affecting the
success of transplantation apart from
transplantation to a regular bald area depend on
the degree of the burn and the vascular vitality
of the scarred tissue
If the length of the hair is convenient enough
in donor area, the extraction signs are not
visible on donor area in all hair
transplantations.
The process of facial hair restoration normally includes:
- Estimating of the area where the hair is going to be transplanted and evaluating if the donor supply can support the number required,
- Extracting the necessary grafts from donor area;
- The transplantation of the grafts hair into the right area with right angle, direction and depth;
- Follow up with the patient to evaluate the growth and yield post op.
