What is Moustache Transplantation?
Mustache, which defines facial features and adds a unique expression to the character, is an important aesthetic element for many men. For individuals who experience mustache loss due to genetic factors, injuries, burns or some medical conditions, or who are bothered by the sparseness of their mustaches, the most effective solution today is mustache transplantation.
As Estemarley, we are happy to offer you the most modern and successful mustache transplantation techniques. In this article, we will share with you all the details you are curious about mustache transplantation.
What is Moustache Transplantation?
Moustache transplantation is the process of taking healthy hair follicles (grafts) from the nape of the body and transplanting them to sparse or non-existent areas in the moustache area. This process provides natural and permanent results. Moustache transplantation not only increases moustache density, but also offers the opportunity to recreate the moustache shape and boundaries according to personal preferences.
Why is Moustache Transplantation Performed?
Moustache transplantation can be preferred by people who experience moustache loss or are unhappy with the appearance of their moustache for various reasons:
- Genetic Factors: In some men, due to genetic predisposition, moustache may not grow at all or may grow sparsely.
- Injuries and Burns: Permanent hair loss may occur in the moustache area as a result of an accident, blow or burn.
- Surgical Scars: As a result of surgeries in the facial area, gaps may occur in the moustache line.
- Medical Conditions: Certain skin diseases or medical treatments (e.g. radiation therapy) can cause moustache loss.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Those who want to change the shape, density or appearance of their moustache may choose moustache transplantation.
How is Moustache Transplantation Performed?
At our Este Marley clinic, moustache transplantation is generally performed by our experienced specialist doctors by following the following steps:
- Evaluation and Planning: First, your facial features, current moustache structure and expectations are evaluated in detail by our expert doctors. It is determined whether you are a suitable candidate for moustache transplantation and a personalized transplant plan is created according to the desired moustache shape and density.
- Determination and Preparation of Donor Area: The most suitable donor area for moustache transplantation is usually the nape area. The hair follicles in this area are structurally similar to moustache hairs and are more resistant to shedding. The donor area is anesthetized with local anesthesia and prepared for graft collection.
- Graft Extraction: The most commonly used techniques in moustache transplantation are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation).
- FUE Technique: In this technique, hair follicles (grafts) from the donor area are taken one by one with the help of special micro motors and punches. The taken grafts are preserved in special solutions until the transplantation process.
- DHI Technique: Grafts are taken in a similar way to the FUE technique. However, in the DHI technique, the grafts are taken using a special medical pen (choi implanter) and are placed directly into the area to be transplanted without waiting. This technique can help achieve a denser and more natural appearance. The technique to be used is determined by your doctor’s evaluation and your preferences.
- Preparation of the Transplantation Area: The moustache area is numbed by applying local anesthesia. In the FUE technique, the channels where the grafts to be transplanted will be placed are opened with special fine-tipped tools. In the DHI technique, this stage is not necessary because the channels are opened while the grafts are placed directly with the implanter pen.
- Placement of Grafts: The healthy hair follicles taken are meticulously placed in the previously determined areas, taking into account the natural moustache growth direction and angle. This stage is critical for the success and natural appearance of the moustache transplant.
- Healing Process: After the procedure, slight redness and crusting may be seen in the moustache area. This usually goes away on its own within a few days. Following the care instructions recommended by your doctor will speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of infection. The transplanted moustache usually falls out after 2-3 weeks, but this is a normal process. New and permanent moustaches start to grow after approximately 3-6 months. Full results are usually seen within 9-12 months.
What are the advantages of moustache transplantation?
- Natural and Permanent Results: Since your own hair follicles are used, the results are extremely natural and permanent.
- Custom Design: Moustache shape and density are planned according to your wishes and facial features.
- Minimally Invasive: Especially thanks to FUE and DHI techniques, surgical incisions and suture scars are minimal.
- Fast Recovery Process: You can return to your daily life in a short time after the procedure.
- Increased Self-Confidence: It provides a significant increase in self-confidence for people who have lost their moustache or are unhappy with their appearance.
Who is Suitable for Moustache Transplantation?
Moustache transplantation is generally a suitable option for people who:
- Those with no hair or sparse hair in the moustache area
- Those who have lost their moustache as a result of injury, burns or surgery.
- Those who genetically have no or few moustaches
- Those who want to change the shape or density of their moustache
- Anyone who is in good general health and is deemed suitable for the procedure
However, since each individual’s situation is different, whether you are suitable for a moustache transplant can only be determined after a detailed examination by our specialist doctors.
