Hair transplantation is the most preferred aesthetic operation for men. Hair transplantation procedure includes 2 methods FUT and FUE. The most common method of hair transplantation in Turkey and in the world is FUE. Hair transplantation is performed by taking the roots of hair from the individual donor area and placing them in the channels that are opened to the empty areas. Recently, the DHI method is only different from the taking follicles method. In the transplantation, the follicles in the nuchal area, which is specified as the donor area, are taken one by one. The hair follicles in this area are very strong against hair loss. After hair transplant surgery, among men,there is another preferred operation – a beard transplantation. The donor area in the beard transplantation is the same as the hair transplantation. Because the hair root structure is similar, the results obtained in the beard cultivation are very successful.
