Abstract: Aim: To assess the effectiveness and safety of the FUE (follicular unit extraction) technique in beard and moustache transplant surgery. Methodology: This observational study was carried out at a Richardsons dental and craniofacial hospital. A total of 300 patients who underwent beard and moustache transplants were included in the study. The follicular unit extraction technique was used in all patients with postoperative follow-up till 1 year. This technique shows favourable results in the form of scarring, comfort and recovery. Pin-point white scars were noted in about 29 cases. However other postoperative complications like infection, necrosis, and numbness were not observed. Conclusion: The FUE procedure is a reliable and safe technique for beards and moustache transplants.
