Beard Transplant in Olympia

Patchy beard growth is a common frustration for men in Olympia, and no amount of trimming or growth oils can fix areas where the follicles simply aren’t there. Beard transplant surgery by Dr. Javad Sajan offers a permanent, natural solution by placing new follicles exactly where they’re needed. As a renowned plastic surgeon, he has thousands of successful surgeries to his name.

Men across Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey, and the greater South Puget Sound area reach out to Dr. Sajan for advanced facial hair restoration. Just a quick drive north up I-5 from the state capital, our facility welcomes patients from across the South Sound.

What Is a Beard Transplant?

A beard transplant is a precise, microsurgical procedure that relocates healthy hair follicles from donor sites like the back of the scalp to the areas of the face. It is designed to restore or enhance facial hair in areas like the cheeks, jawline, chin, and mustache. Dr. Sajan places each graft meticulously to follow your natural hair growth direction, so that the new beard looks like it has always been there.

Techniques Used for Beard Transplant 

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicles are harvested one by one using a micro-punch tool (about 0.7–1 mm), leaving tiny, virtually undetectable dots in the donor area.
  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant): A single, thin strip of tissue is removed from the donor area, and the follicles are then carefully dissected. The linear scar is easily concealed under your existing hair.

Who Is a Candidate for a Beard Transplant in Olympia?

Ideal candidates for this procedure often include men who are dissatisfied with their natural beard growth. You may be a good fit for a beard transplant near Olympia if you:

  • Have genetically thin, patchy, or uneven facial hair.
  • Have scars from acne, injury, or previous surgery that inhibit hair growth.
  • Desire more definition for your goatee, sideburns, or cheek lines.
  • Have sufficient donor hair on the scalp.
  • Are in good general health and do not smoke (or can pause before and after surgery).
  • Have realistic expectations about the gradual growth process.

During your consultation, Dr. Sajan will evaluate your facial anatomy, hair characteristics, and goals to create a fully customized plan.

The Beard Transplant Procedure: What to Expect

Once your plan is finalized, here’s what the beard transplant process looks like from start to finish:

  • Consultation & Design: Dr. Sajan maps out the desired beard shape, respecting the natural patterns common in masculine facial aesthetics.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered for complete comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients relax, listen to music, or nap.
  • Donor Harvesting: Using the chosen FUE or FUT method, the required number of grafts (often 1,200–2,000 for a full beard) is harvested.
  • Graft Placement: Using microsurgical techniques, each follicle is placed into tiny recipient sites created at the precise angle for natural growth.
  • Completion: The procedure typically takes several hours. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and can return home the same day.

Recovery Timeline

  • Mild swelling or redness may occur for a few days. 
  • Tiny crusts will form and shed within 7-10 days. 
  • The transplanted hair will enter a resting phase and shed around 3-4 weeks post-op. 
  • New, permanent growth begins in 3-4 months, with full results visible at 9-12 months. 
  • Most men return to desk work in Olympia within 48 hours.

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 investment for a beard transplant is based on the number of grafts needed to achieve your desired density and coverage. Our beard transplant costs $8 per graft.

A light goatee may require 600 grafts ($4,800), while a full, dense beard can require 2,500 grafts ($20,000). Your final cost will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Sajan, based on your specific graft count and surgical plan.

FAQs

The results of a beard transplant are considered permanent. The follicles transplanted from the donor area (typically the scalp) are genetically resistant to balding and will continue to grow beard hair for a lifetime.

For the right candidate, a beard transplant is an excellent and highly effective solution. It is the only method that provides permanent, natural-looking hair growth in patchy or thin areas of the beard.

Most patients benefit from a beard transplant between 25 to 50, once natural beard growth patterns and donor hair stability are fully established.
