How Mustache Hair Transplant Is Performed?
It is a simple surgery similar to any other type of facial hair transplant. The surgery is performed with local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The surgeon begins by selecting and shaving the donor area. Local anesthesia is administered to the donor area – somewhere at the back of the head. Then, using Follicular Unit Extraction method, the surgeon harvests required a number of follicular grafts from the donor site. The harvested follicles are stored in an artificial medium to make sure they don’t die outside the body.
Once enough follicles have been harvested, the surgeon administers local anesthesia to the area above your upper lip. Then using a fine punch tool, he will make tiny incisions in the skin just like a gardener makes small holes in the soil to sow tiny plants. Harvested grafts are then carefully placed in those incisions to conclude the surgery. The entire process generally takes 2 to 3 hours, but it can vary depending upon the number of grafts needed.

What To Expect After Mustache Transplant?
Immediately after the surgery, the donor area as well as the recipient area will be sore and tender. Take prescribed medicines and use cold compressions to manage pain and discomfort. Avoid washing your face for 24 to 36 hours as this may damage transplanted follicles. After 2-3 days you will notice crusting and scabbing in the recipient area. This is an indication that healing process has started. Most patients are able to resume routine activities on the third day following the surgery.
Post-Op Care:
