What Is a Moustache Transplant?

A Moustache Transplant is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring hair follicles, usually from the scalp, to the upper lip area to create, enhance, or restore facial hair growth in the moustache zone.

Whether it’s due to genetics, scarring, trauma, or hormonal imbalance, many men seek this procedure to achieve a fuller, more defined moustache that complements their facial features and personal style.

How It Works

• Hair follicles are typically extracted using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method from the back of the head, where hair is most similar in texture
• These follicles are then meticulously implanted into the upper lip, one by one, at carefully planned angles and densities to mimic natural moustache growth
• The procedure is done under local anesthesia and typically takes a few hours

Who It’s For

• Men with patchy or sparse moustaches due to genetics or hair loss
• Individuals who’ve experienced facial scarring or trauma
• People undergoing gender-affirming treatments seeking facial masculinization
• Anyone who desires a thicker, more stylized moustache

Benefits

• Permanent solution for natural-looking facial hair
• Grows, trims, and shaves just like your native moustache
• Boosts confidence and enhances masculine facial structure
• Can be customized in shape, density, and design

Limitations & Risks

• Requires high precision to match natural hair direction and pattern
• Transplanted hairs may need regular trimming, as scalp hairs grow longer
• Mild swelling or redness is normal during recovery
• Not ideal for those with very limited donor hair

Questions to Ask Your Clinic

• Do you have experience with facial hair transplants, specifically moustaches?
• Will the texture and growth of the transplanted hair match the natural moustache?
• What are my styling options after healing?
