Question 1

is beard hair good for hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Not for your scalp: If you are considering transplants to the scalp then no, not good for that purpose.  Cannot remove enough to be helpful, plus would leave significant scaring on the face from where it was harvested.  Dr R

Question 2

if the scar in my cornea does not effect my vision, does that mean it is not serious and won't need a transplant?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Corneal scars are only a problem if they are centrally located or the site of chronic inflammation.  Quiescent corneal scars out of the visual line, can almost always be ignored and need no treatment.

Question 3

does hair transplant leave scars?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is a scar on the back of the head, when the traditional "strip" type of donor site is used.  This can be minimized by using the newer single-hair extraction devices (fue).  These still leave multiple tiny scars, but they are less noticeable.

Question 4

how long shall i wait before proceed with eyebrow transplant after scar formed in eyebrow ?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: There are many factors which need to be considered before any surgical intervention is planned. The type of injury, the time elapsed, the quality of the the recipient area and other factors must all be weighed. The best answer is wait long enough to reduce the factors likely to cause failure and maximize the chances of success. An in-person consultation is necessary for an accurate answer.

Question 5

i have small segmental vitilgo & white beard but stable for years. can i restore beard color by protopic/zinc? or should i just do beard transplant?

Accepted Answer

Well : Recommend you see a dermatologist there are certainly treatments other than surgery that can help this. Like topical creams

Question 6

if i get a hair transplant from my beard to scalp, will my beard grow back? i ideally would like my beard to grow back

Accepted Answer

No beard to scalp : The beard and scalp have completely different types of hair, and beard hair is not suitable for the scalp. Also, scars are left in the hair donor site. Even if the beard was a suitable donor site, you would not want to have these scars on the face. Donor hair should be taken from the back of the head where the hair density is sufficient. I use the Neograft technique, which leaves no linear scars.

Question 7

will chin augmentation affect my ability to grow a beard? will the scars from chin augmentation surgery inhibit my ability to grow a beard in the future?

Accepted Answer

The : The implant is placed deep to the hair follicles of the bearded skin.

The only thing you may find is that if an external incision is used (very common) you may have a fine line scar under your chin where hair doesn't grow. If you're growing out your beard this scar would likely get covered, however.

Question 8

how much would an eyebrow hair transplant cost if i only wanna cover up a scar ? i don't need that much hair transplanted :

Accepted Answer

Eye brown transplant: An eye brow transplant would probably not be covered by any insurance, due to cosmetic nature of condition.  I would estimate the following costs:
surgeon fee; $1, 500
anesthesia: local
hospital or asc; $3, 500.

Question 9

how much does eyebrow hair transplant cost if you only want a few hairs transplanted like 15 not anymore ? it's to cover a scar .

Accepted Answer

Remove scar: It would be easier to remove the scar than to transplant the hair.  Talk to a plastic surgeon about this, including the cost.
