Mustaches Hair Transplant
Q:
I had a burn on my upper lip with blistering 10 years ago. I lost half of my moustache that it never grows back. I want to grow moustache but it won’t be symmetrical. Is there a method that I can restore my mustache with hair transplant surgery. I don’t know anything about it so I’m unsure of where to go to for a mustache hair restoration.
Thanks,
A:
Hair transplant surgery can restore mustache hair and can be used for restoration of hair in scars such as scars of beard and mustache. You are right about mustache hair restoration that is not as popular as scalp hair transplant. We get to do mustache hair transplant every now and then. Here are the pictures of one of my patients who had a similar problem and lost his mustache hair on one side due to some skin condition.
We restored his mustache with about 200 follicular unit grafts. We generally use scalp hair for mustache and beard hair restoration, but this patient had a very fine scalp hair on the donor area that was not a perfect match with the size of his mustache so we had to harvest some hair follicles from his beard and transplant them on the upper areas of his upper lip so they could create a similar appearance and cover the other hairs while scalp hair gave the needed hair bulk below that level to his mustache.

We used FUE or follicular unit extraction techniques for removing hair follicles from beard area from under the jaw area.

Hi there,
Patchy hair loss without any other symptoms or skin conditions is usually a sign of Alopecia Areata (AA). Alopecia areata that we have described in several posts in the past can be seen almost anywhere in the hair growing skin. This disorder usually present with patchy or coin shape balding spots.
