Why Beard reconstruction in Navi Mumbai is Needed After Cancer Reconstruction

While reconstruction using flaps like the Pectoralis major mucocutaneous flap can restore function, the aesthetic outcome often leaves much to be desired. This is where hair transplant after cancer reconstruction comes into play.

  7. Do beard transplants last forever?
    Your results last a lifetime. Initially, the hairs will shed, occurring approximately two weeks after the procedure. This shedding does not impact long-term growth and is to be expected. You will see substantial new beard growth in the transplanted area within several months.
     
  8. How painful is beard transplant?A beard transplant is a relatively pain free procedure. The main reason is that it is performed under local anaesthetic and so a patient may feel a slight discomfort in the area. Post surgery, you may experience slight inflammation and redness in the area.
