A beard transplant places donor follicles into selected facial areas to address gaps or change the beard outline. Here, the term means restoring the beard, not using beard hair to restore the scalp. At HCT in Turkey, discuss your preferred appearance, available donor hair and the practical limits of a proposed treatment.

The donor-to-beard match
Donor hair texture and calibre should suit the facial area being treated. Using scalp hair also involves considering donor availability and possible future scalp needs.

Direction as well as outline
Placement direction and angle affect how facial hair sits. Discuss the proposed pattern and what can realistically be achieved rather than focusing only on a graft total.

Why hair is missing
Tell the team whether the area has always been sparse or changed recently, and mention any skin condition, injury or previous procedure. Ask what needs clinical investigation before planning.
The planned images will show the design decisions that should be agreed before treatment.

| Discussion point | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Treatment area | Which gaps, cheek areas, jawline or moustache zones are included |
| Preferred appearance | How you normally wear your beard and what change you want |
| Donor source | Which area is proposed and why it is appropriate |
| Existing scars | Whether the skin needs further assessment before a decision |
| Written scope | The proposed plan, its limitations and the review arrangements |
A reference photo can help explain a preference; it is not a template that guarantees the same facial-hair pattern or density.
Ask what needs trimming
Confirm preparation for both the donor area and face. Request instructions for the agreed procedure rather than making assumptions from another patient’s experience.
Discuss grooming and work
Ask when your care team expects you to resume shaving, trimming, skincare and normal activities. Mention work requirements and any important events while planning dates.
Know who to contact
Request the follow-up schedule, the contact for postoperative concerns and the arrangements after returning home. Keep these details with your written proposal.

Growth and appearance can vary
Not every graft necessarily grows, and donor supply may limit the result. Poor direction or a mismatch in hair characteristics can affect appearance.
ISHRS: limitations and possible complications - 02
This remains a surgical procedure
Discuss scarring, infection, discomfort and the individual risks of the proposed procedure. Ask how concerns will be assessed and managed.

Do not assume a one-session promise
Ask whether a further assessment or procedure might be considered, what would determine that decision and whether any later treatment would be quoted separately.
HCT’s current supplied price table does not contain a separate beard transplant range. A scalp technique price should not be treated as a beard quote; request the cost of your assessed facial-hair plan.
- 01
Confirm the included areas
Have the quote identify exactly which facial areas are covered. Clarify any discussion of moustache work, scar areas or a later session.

Confirm treatment, follow-up, travel and accommodation inclusions separately. Request a written total and any exclusions before booking.

No. This page concerns placing hair into the beard area. Using beard hair as a donor source for the scalp is a different plan and needs its own assessment.
You can explain the outline and style you prefer. Ask the team to review that preference with you, describe limitations and confirm the proposed design before treatment.
Ask your treating team for instructions specific to the donor and recipient areas. Do not use another patient’s schedule as clearance for shaving or other grooming.
Do not assume so. Ask the written proposal to name the areas covered, the final cost and any treatment that would be considered or priced separately.
