When it comes to redefining your personal style, changing your facial hair can make a bold statement. Pearce Plastic Surgery offers facial hair transplant surgery to help men achieve a full beard and continuous growth.
What is a Beard Transplant?
Pearce Plastic Surgery specializes in beard transplant procedures using two primary techniques: follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT). With FUE, individual hair follicles are harvested from the rear of the scalp, while FUT involves removing a strip of scalp tissue with hair follicles. Grafts are commonly used from the back of the scalp, but they can also be obtained from the lower portion of the beard that most men keep neatly trimmed. These extracted follicles are then meticulously placed in the desired facial regions to achieve a natural-looking appearance that mirrors the growth pattern of regular facial hair. Beard transplants can require 400 – 1500 grafts to achieve your desired look.
When Can I See Results From A Beard Transplant?
Following your beard transplant surgery, you'll experience swelling, which will gradually diminish over the next 4 – 5 days. Expect scabs from the newly transplanted grafts during the initial 10 to 14 days. To ensure a successful outcome, refrain from shaving for a month after the procedure, allowing the grafts to settle completely. By the 3 – 4-week mark, the transplanted grafts will become dormant, and you may look like you did before the transplant. Patience is vital as the follicles will regrow around the four-month mark, and you'll witness your full results 12 months after the procedure. Contact our Austin, TX office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Pearce to learn more about beard transplant surgery.
Beard Transplant FAQs
How long does a beard transplant take?
The duration of a beard transplant at Pearce Plastic Surgery varies depending on the number of grafts needed. Typically, the procedure can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours. Our team ensures a comfortable experience, with the procedure performed under local anesthesia.
How soon will I see results from my beard transplant?
Initial results of a beard transplant are visible almost immediately, but the final, fuller appearance of the beard can take several months as transplanted hairs fall out and regrow. Typically, patients notice significant growth within 3 to 6 months post-procedure.
Are my results permanent?
Yes, generally speaking, beard transplants at Pearce Plastic Surgery offer permanent results. The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding, ensuring the growth of a natural, fuller beard that lasts a lifetime. Regular grooming and care are advised to maintain the beard's appearance.

About UsPearce Plastic Surgery Reviews
I chose doctor Pearce to do my chin lipo after I did some research on YouTube. His videos popped up and I instantly felt very comfortable booking a consultation. I love the fact that he educates us on every procedure beforehand and that he is just a very down to earth guy and I just love him. I am very skeptical when it comes down to choosing a doctor but that was never an issue from start to finish. He is very understanding and he will do his very best to give you the results that you are looking for. I would definitely choose him for any other procedure I decide to get in the future.
Dr. Pearce is amazing! He takes his time, is very informative and makes you feel comfortable. His staff is also friendly and welcoming! I was nervous to get lip filler for the first time, but I’m very happy with my results thanks to Dr. Pearce :)
Dr. Pearce was on call at Round Rock Medical Center at a very difficult moment for my family. My son experienced a very bad motorcycle accident on Sept. 12, 2022 and Dr. Pearce operated on him to repair the cosmetic results of severe head trauma. He has operated on my son 3 times, the last one being 2 days ago. He did miraculous work in restoring my son’s head shape and eye socket to normal. He worked for 6.5 hours in surgery this time to fix some abnormalities and my son looks great. We are so grateful to Dr. Pearce!
10/10 recommend - I severed a tendon in a kitchen accident and I am on my way to 100% recovery! Excellent care
After a major weight loss and a few uncomfortable consultations, I decided to look outside the San Antonio area to have a tummy tuck and an arm lift. Dr Pearce was my first consultant after expanding my search. When I walked in his office, I was greeted with the biggest smiles. After meeting Dr Pearce, I knew I found my surgeon!! I’m a year post op and feel amazing! Dr Pearce is a perfectionist!! I’ve recommended him to a couple people!
