Beard Transplant Portland

If you live in Portland or nearby areas like Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Gresham, Lake Oswego, or Vancouver, WA, a patchy beard can feel like a constant battle. You may be dealing with thin cheeks, gaps along the jawline, or a mustache that will not connect, no matter how long you let it grow. Beard oils and growth routines can improve the hair you already have, but they cannot create new follicles in the spots that stay bare year after year.

That is where a beard transplant for Portland patients can make a difference. Dr. Javad Sajan at Hair Restoration Seattle offers this procedure. He is a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon with thousands of hair transplant surgeries performed in his lifetime. Major media outlets have featured his work, with more than thousand five-star ratings on Google. Dr. Sajan’s work is so well recognized that patients not only from Portland but also from around the world come to consult with him.

What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a special hair restoration procedure that helps thicken facial hair or create a new beard shape. Dr. Sajan usually takes hair follicles from the back of your head, where hair is thickest, and carefully places them in your beard area.

This process is more than just adding hair. Each hair is placed at the right angle and direction to match your natural beard growth. After healing, the transplanted hair is your own. You can wash, trim, shave, and style it just like a natural beard.

What are the beard transplant techniques?

At Hair Restoration Seattle, Dr. Sajan uses advanced methods to ensure the best results for our traveling patients.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): It is the most common choice for beard restoration. In this procedure, hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area. This leaves tiny dot scars that are easily hidden by short hair. Recovery is quick, which is great for patients returning to Portland shortly after their procedure.

FUT (Strip Method): If you need a large number of grafts or prefer not to shave the back of your head, then Dr. Sajan may suggest the FUT procedure. In this method, a thin strip is removed from the donor area 9back of the head), creating a thin scar that can be covered with your existing hair.

Who Is a Candidate for a Beard Transplant in Portland?

Most candidates simply want a fuller, better-looking beard.

You may qualify if you:

  • Have genetic patches or thin hair growth on your face
  • Want a sharper line on your cheeks or jaw
  • Have scars from acne or accidents that stay bald
  • Have a good donor of hair on the back of your scalp
  • Are in good general health
  • Can avoid smoking before and after the surgery
  • Have realistic goals, along with a 12-month growth timeline. 

During your consultation, the team looks at your facial structure and hair type. This helps us design a beard that looks right for you in Portland’s natural lighting and your daily life.

What does a beard transplantation procedure look like?

Dr. Sajan makes the process smooth for patients coming from Portland and nearby areas. Here’s what you can expect during a typical beard transplant procedure.

  1. Consultation:- You arrive at our specialized facility. Your consultation begins with Dr. Sajan, who will advise you on the procedure and the expected recovery timeline. He draws the final design on your face. You approve the height of the cheek line and the shape of the neckline before we begin.
  2. Comfortable Anesthesia:- He and his team will use local anesthesia to numb the area. You remain awake but comfortable. Many patients watch movies or listen to music during the session.
  3. Donor Harvesting:- The team collects the grafts using FUE or FUT. A full beard typically requires 1,200 to 2,500 grafts, depending on the level of coverage needed.
  4. Placement of Grafts:- Dr. Sajan makes tiny incisions in the beard area. The team places the grafts one by one. The angle and direction are critical here to ensure a natural look..
  5. Completion:-  The surgery takes several hours. You go home the same day with clear instructions on how to care for your face

What is the Recovery Timeline?

Recovery is as simple as long as you follow the caring instructions given by Dr. Sajan

  • After the surgery, you may see mild swelling or redness for the first few days.
  • You may notice small crusts forming in the transplanted area, which will fall off in about 7 to 10 days.
  • It is important to remember that transplanted hairs usually shed around weeks 3 to 4.
  • You may be able to see new hair growth that will start growing at around 3 to 4 months. 
  • Full beard maturity typically occurs around months 9 to 12.

Many people return to office work or remote work within two days, depending on how they feel.

Benefits of Choosing a Beard Transplant

  • Permanent Results: The transplanted hair is yours for life and grows like normal beard hair.
  • Natural-looking Hair: Results are designed to blend seamlessly with any existing facial hair.
  • Full Styling Freedom: You can shave, trim, and groom your new beard as you wish.
  • One-Time Procedure: Unlike topical treatments, this is a one-time solution.

How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost?

The total cost of a beard transplant is determined by the number of grafts needed for your desired density and coverage. Dr. Sajan at Hair Restoration Seattle charges $8 per graft for this procedure. 

For example, a lighter goatee may require around 600 grafts, costing approximately $4,800, while a full, dense beard could require up to 2,500 grafts, costing around $20,000.
