    TLDR Hair transplants can effectively treat facial hair loss from trauma.
    The document discussed the role of hair transplantation in managing facial trauma, particularly in hair-bearing areas like the eyebrow, eyelid, and beard regions. It highlighted that while many facial hair transplants are for cosmetic reasons, advanced transplantation techniques can significantly improve aesthetic outcomes after trauma. The authors emphasized the importance of a good recipient bed for hair regrowth and suggested using adjuvant therapies like fat transfer and platelet-rich plasma to enhance vascularization. The review covered essential techniques such as follicular unit extraction and grafting, and provided case examples to illustrate these methods.
