TLDR Beard restoration is important for creating masculine looks and using beard hair can increase scalp hair coverage.
Beard restoration plays a crucial role in hair restoration surgery, allowing for the creation of more masculine appearances. The process typically requires 2200 to 2800 grafts, with most cases using grafts containing one and two hairs. Careful dissection of grafts to remove the surrounding skin cuff can significantly reduce the risk of bump formation, especially in grafts placed in the chin mound. Beard Hair Transplantation (BHT), which uses beard donor hairs for scalp restoration, is a growing technique in this field. It increases the total scalp donor supply achievable, thus expanding the coverage.
