How is Facial Hair Transplant Procedure Performed?

During a facial hair transplant procedure:

1. Consultation and Planning: Initially, the surgeon evaluates the patient's needs and plans the transplant accordingly, marking the areas for transplantation.
2. Harvesting Donor Hair: Hair follicles are harvested from a donor site, usually the back of the scalp, where hair growth is dense.
3. Preparation of Donor Hair: The harvested follicles are prepared under a microscope to ensure they are healthy and suitable for transplantation.
4. Local Anesthesia: The recipient area (face) is numbed using local anesthesia to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
5. Creating Recipient Sites: The surgeon creates small incisions or sites in the recipient area where the new hair follicles will be placed. The incisions mimic natural hair growth patterns for a natural-looking result.
6. Transplanting the Hair Follicles: The prepared hair follicles are individually transplanted into the incisions in the recipient site.
7. Closing and Dressing: Once all the follicles are transplanted, the incisions are closed, and the area is dressed to protect and aid healing.
8. Recovery: The patient is then allowed to recover, with the transplanted hair growing in the recipient areas over the coming months.

The procedure aims to provide a natural-looking enhancement to the facial hair using the patient's hair follicles, following the natural direction of hair growth to ensure congruity with existing facial hair.
