A successful beard transplant is the perfect intersection of medical precision and artistic vision. It is not enough to simply move hair from one place to another; the direction, angle, and density must be perfectly calculated to mimic nature. At Liv Hospital, the beard transplant procedure is a meticulous, multi-step process performed in a sterile, JCI-accredited hospital environment to ensure your safety and comfort.
We understand that facial surgery requires a higher level of detail than scalp surgery. Your face is your identity, and our specialists approach every procedure with that responsibility in mind.
When creating a beard design, the individual’s bone structure and muscle movements should be taken into account. Artificial and overly sharp lines should be avoided. For a natural result, the transitions in hair growth angles and distributions should be planned with millimeter precision to perfectly match the individual’s existing beard growth.
On the day of your procedure, you will sit down with your surgeon to finalize the plan. We use specialized calipers and marking tools to draw the proposed beard lines directly on your skin. We consider:
Once the design is approved, you will be prepped for surgery. Because Liv Hospital is a comprehensive medical center, we perform pre-operative blood tests to ensure you have no underlying infections or clotting issues.
The first surgical phase involves harvesting the hair follicles. We almost exclusively use the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method for beards because it leaves no linear scar.
By extracting individual units one by one, we can selectively harvest the finest, most compatible follicles—typically from the back of the scalp where hair is most resilient. This precision ensures that the donor site heals discreetly while providing the high-quality grafts necessary to mimic the natural texture of facial hair.

Identifying the cause is critical because hair transplantation is primarily effective for genetic hair loss, whereas other causes may require medical therapy first.
Using a micromotor with a tiny punch tip (0.7mm to 0.8mm), the surgeon extracts follicles from the “safe zone” at the back of your head.
This is where the artistry happens. Depending on your specific skin type and the density required, we will use one of two advanced techniques: Sapphire FUE or DHI.
In this method, the surgeon uses a blade made from sapphire gemstone—which is sharper and smoother than steel—to create thousands of tiny incisions (channels) in the beard area.
Benefit: The V-shaped sapphire blades create smaller channels, leading to less bleeding and faster healing.
Process: The channels are opened first, and then the technician places the grafts into these holes.
For many beard transplants, DHI is the preferred method. This technique uses a tool called the Choi Implanter Pen.
The difference between a “pluggy” looking transplant and a natural one lies in angulation.
The surgery typically takes 6 to 8 hours. Once the last graft is placed:
You will be given a post-op kit containing medications (antibiotics, painkillers, anti-swelling pills) and a special neck pillow to help you sleep without touching your face.
At Liv Hospital, we do not view beard transplants as a “one-size-fits-all” service.
You will be awake, but many patients doze off because they are relaxed and feel no pain. We provide entertainment options (music/TV) to help pass the time. If you are very anxious, sedation is available.
Yes, usually the recipient area (face) needs to be shaved to ensure the surgeon can see the skin clearly and place grafts precisely. The donor area on the back of the head will also be shaved or trimmed short.
A full beard transplant (2,500+ grafts) can take 6 to 8 hours. Smaller procedures like filling a goatee or mustache may take 3 to 4 hours. We take a break for lunch, which is provided by the hospital.
No. Once the local anesthesia is applied at the beginning, the skin is completely numb. You will feel pressure or touching, but no sharp pain.
The Choi Pen is a specialized medical instrument that looks like a ballpoint pen with a hollow needle. It allows the surgeon to implant the hair follicle without touching the root bulb with forceps, increasing the survival rate of the graft.
