Mustache Transplant

Mustache transplant is a surgical procedure designed to restore or enhance the mustache by transplanting hair follicles from a donor area to the upper lip. This procedure is ideal for men who have thin, patchy, or no mustache due to genetics, scarring, or other factors.

At Medixir Clinic, we use advanced techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) to perform the mustache transplant. These techniques involve extracting hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and carefully transplanting them into the mustache area.

The first step of the procedure involves extracting healthy hair follicles from the donor area using the FUE or DHI method. These follicles are then prepared for implantation. Local anesthesia is administered, so the patient remains awake and comfortable during the surgery.

Once the follicles are extracted, the surgeon creates tiny incisions in the mustache area and implants the hair follicles with precision. The direction, angle, and depth of the hair are adjusted to create a natural and seamless mustache appearance.

One of the key benefits of the FUE and DHI techniques is that they leave no visible scars. Both techniques are minimally invasive, ensuring a faster recovery time compared to traditional methods. These methods also offer more control over the final outcome, providing a more natural and uniform look.

The procedure typically lasts between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the extent of the transplant and the number of grafts required. After the surgery, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or discomfort, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.

The transplanted hair may shed within the first few weeks, but new hair growth will begin within 3 to 6 months. Full results are usually visible after 12 to 18 months, with the transplanted hair continuing to grow naturally.

Mustache transplant is permanent, as the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss. With proper care, the mustache will continue to grow for many years, offering a fuller, more defined look.

At Medixir Clinic, we provide personalized care throughout the process. From consultation to post-surgery care, our expert team is dedicated to ensuring the best possible results for our patients.
