    TLDR A young man with severe neck and beard burns was successfully treated, restoring neck movement and improving skin appearance.
    The study reports a successful case of managing severe postburn deformity of the neck and beard region in a 25-year-old man using tissue expansion and follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair restoration. The patient, who suffered from Grade 3 neck contracture and beard alopecia due to thermal burns, underwent contracture release, skin grafting, and placement of tissue expanders. Subsequent FUE from the scalp and unburnt beard areas significantly improved the quality of the scarred skin, making it soft and smooth. The procedures restored both function and aesthetic appearance, allowing the patient to resume normal social and occupational activities.
