JAWLINE · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Beard Transplant: before & after and recovery stages
Follow a short beard with fictional cheek and chin gaps through implantation, shedding and regrowth.
SUMMARY
What this example shows
Fixed fictional gaps interrupt a short beard on the cheeks and chin. Existing hairs remain while new shafts appear in the gaps, shed, and gradually regrow. The later view is trimmed. This adds hair, not jaw volume; donor healing, graft counts and personal density are not calculated.
STAGE BY STAGE
Beard Transplant recovery stages
Before treatment
This short-beard reference has fictional gaps on the cheeks and chin. Existing hairs stay while added shafts shed and regrow in those gaps.
First day: Short shafts & surface marks
Small marks surround the added short hairs.
Scabs and temporary local swelling can occur in the recipient skin.
Around 2 months: Sparse interval
Many added shafts are no longer visible; native hairs remain.
Implanted shafts can shed before new growth appears.
Around 6 months: Growth developing
More and longer strands occupy the same recipient sites.
Regrowth develops over months, with individual variation.
Around 1 year: Later trimmed-hair example
The same area appears fuller in this short-hair illustration.
Later appearance depends on growth, direction and hair characteristics.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
The fixed gaps are an illustrative starting pattern, independent of the selected face or skin tone. The reference hairs remain throughout; the visible strand numbers and lengths are authored, not a graft count or density forecast.
Longer term
Compare up to 14 months. These are trimmed display examples. Donor healing, scars, future hair loss and the need for further treatment are not reconstructed.
EVIDENCE NOTES
Sources and limitations
- ISHRS: Beard and mustache transplant
Facial recipient areas, shaft shedding and gradual regrowth over months; direction and donor availability matter.
- ISHRS: Understanding beard transplantation
Recipient scabs, individual recovery and differences in hair characteristics. Shaving instructions depend on the treating surgeon.
- Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery: Beard and moustache reconstruction
Temporary local redness and swelling; later growth, hair direction and variable reconstruction outcomes.
