Beard & Eyebrow Transplant in Turkey
About This Treatment
Beard transplants are typically chosen by men with patchy or sparse facial hair — whether due to genetics, scarring, or follicle damage from previous skin conditions. The procedure fills gaps, defines the jawline and creates the density and shape the patient is looking for. Eyebrow transplants, meanwhile, address thinning or absent brows caused by over-plucking, alopecia, thyroid conditions or simply genetics. Given how central eyebrows are to facial expression and framing, even modest restoration can have a striking impact on overall appearance.
Both procedures use follicles harvested from the scalp — typically from the back of the head — and transplanted one by one into the target area. The level of precision required is high, which is why surgeon experience matters considerably. At Medivoyage, the specialists we work with have a demonstrated track record in facial hair restoration specifically, not just scalp transplants — because the technique, the angle of implantation and the artistic judgement involved are meaningfully different.
When performed by an experienced specialist, the results are indistinguishable from natural hair. The key factors are the angle and direction of implantation — facial hair grows at very specific angles, and replicating this precisely is what separates a natural-looking result from one that appears artificial. Your surgeon will map out the design carefully before any procedure begins, and you’ll have the opportunity to review and approve the planned shape before implantation starts.
The underlying technique — harvesting individual follicles and reimplanting them — is the same. The differences lie in the precision required and the characteristics of the target area. Facial hair grows at shallower angles than scalp hair, and the skin of the face and brow area is thinner and more delicate. Eyebrow transplants in particular require an extremely fine touch and a strong aesthetic eye, as even small asymmetries are immediately visible. These procedures are best performed by surgeons who specialise in facial restoration rather than those who focus exclusively on scalp work.
Both procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and involve minimal downtime. Some redness and minor swelling in the treated area is normal for the first few days. Tiny scabs form around the transplanted follicles and shed naturally within one to two weeks — it’s important not to pick at these. Most patients are comfortable in social settings within five to seven days. The donor area on the scalp heals quickly and is not visible once the surrounding hair settles.
As with scalp transplants, the transplanted follicles shed in the first few weeks before entering a new growth cycle. Visible growth typically begins at three to four months, with full results at around twelve months. One important consideration — particularly for eyebrows — is that transplanted scalp hair grows at the rate of scalp hair, which is faster than natural brow hair. This means regular trimming becomes part of the maintenance routine. Most patients find this a very minor consideration given the results.
In many cases, yes. Transplanting into scar tissue is more technically demanding — scarred skin has a different texture and blood supply — but experienced surgeons can achieve good results in suitable cases. The degree of improvement depends on the nature and extent of the scarring. This is something your specialist will assess carefully during consultation, and they’ll give you a realistic expectation of what can be achieved before you make any decisions.
