Transplanting Neck Hair to My Mustache? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I had a question regarding a moustache transplant. I have a sparse moustache and thin hair on my head. I’m concerned that my head hair would not be thick enough for facial hair. I was wondering if it is possible to transplant my much thicker coarser beard hair on my neck to thicken my moustache without too much scarring. My beard goes all the way down to my chest and I hate shaving it anyways. Thanks

MustacheHair from anywhere on the body can be transplanted to another location. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a good way to do a limited number of hair transplants into a mustache. This is something that you and your doctor should discuss.

Remember, however, that hair from different areas on the body have different hair cycles, which means that if the telogen (resting) cycle is long and the anagen (growing) cycle is short, then less of the hairs will be working for you at any one time. You can learn more about hair growth cycles here.
