Hair transplants are becoming more and more common, with men flocking to Turkey (or locales closer to home like Miami if they’re rich rich) to get the procedure done, potentially getting a 2-for-1 deal with their BBL while they’re at it.
But some men are going a step further in their quest for maximum rizz and getting beard transplants. In a testimonial video, a man tells viewers that he’s happy with the results of his procedure, despite it looking like it was drawn on with pen.
Commenters were unforgiving, with one top comment simply reading, “Congrats it looks terrible.” Another suggested it “looks like a Lego.” The funniest comment reads, “You could get that done free by throwing a party and passing out on the couch,” while a less harsh commenter wondered, “Who thought it was a good idea to film him an hour after the surgery? Why not wait 6 months to see the good results lol this is wild.”
It’s a fair critique; many of these procedures look absolutely terrible immediately afterwards, but they look a lot more normal once a few months have passed.
Care4Hair in Miami specializes in hair transplants of all kinds, and at least in terms of the before and after photos on their website and social media pages, the results of their standard head hair transplants aren’t half bad. Their beard transplant examples, however, are less impressive, with one of the beards in the after photos looking incredibly patchy post-transplant.
Beard transplants are done through follicular unit extraction, which involves taking hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the head), and transplanting them to the area more in need of hair. As a result, the candidates who see the most success with the procedure have enough usable follicles in the donor site. In other words, if you’re bald as a baby’s bottom, you wouldn’t be a viable candidate for a beard hair transplant.
According to Care4Hair’s website, many men who opt for the procedure deal with things like uneven patches or scarring from burns that they’re hoping to conceal, which makes sense. If the problem were as simple as not being able to grow a beard, surely most men would just lean into being clean-shaven. In this era of looksmaxxing and social media, however, it wouldn’t surprise me if more men were feeling pressured to go to more extreme lengths to achieve their ideal appearance, ignoring how ridiculous it might look to outsiders or how much it might drain their bank accounts.
