Hair follicles are taken from the side or back of your scalp, which is your donor area, by your doctor with the FUE technique.

In order to provide the patient with a natural-looking hair sideburn transplantation, it is important to ensure that your scalp, hair thickness, texture and color match your sideburn.
What are the Causes of Sideburn Loss?
There are several causes of sideburn loss. Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is usually caused by aging. Therefore, it can be said that hair loss in your eyebrows, sideburns and mustaches can be signs of aging. However, aging is not the only reason why you experience hair loss in these areas.
Sideburn loss can be caused by a variety of factors, from hereditary causes to medical disorders. Burns, injuries or physical trauma can cause scarring on your face, which may lead to the need for a sideburn transplant. In addition, chemotherapy also plays a major role in damaging your sideburns.
After facelift surgery, women tend to need sideburn transplants. Also, too much hair styling can be the reason for missing sideburn hair.

Prepare for Sideburn Transplantation
Smoking should be avoided at least 12 hours before the sideburn transplantation surgery. Smoking can delay the healing of wounds. Not smoking after the surgery will also be good for a successful result.
Alcohol consumption adversely affects the sideburn transplantation operation. Therefore, you should also avoid alcohol consumption at least 24 hours before the operation; do not consume it for a while after the surgery for a healthy and successful sideburn transplantation.
Blood thinners should not be taken approximately 7 days before the operation.
It is recommended that you do not shave your existing sideburns. Your doctor will examine the area to be transplanted and your doctor will shave your sideburn area if necessary.
Even if your sideburns are sparse, thin or irregular, do not shave; Even if your sideburns have completely fallen out, you may still have peach fuzz. Your doctor should examine the area where the sideburn transplant will be performed to determine the normal hair follicle development pattern, angle and direction.
After Sideburn Transplantation Care
There are some important points that the patient should pay attention to in order to achieve a successful result after the surgery:
Rest for a few days after the surgery.
Never touch the transplanted area! It slows down the healing process.
Always be careful with your newly transplanted sideburns. Do not lie on your side, otherwise you may damage your hair grafts in that area. Try to keep your head upright while sleeping. A neck pillow will help you in this case.
Do not consume hard and chewable foods for at least 2 days after the surgery in order not to stretch your skin and dislodge the grafts.
Do not allow soap to touch the transplanted area while washing your face. Our doctors will recommend that you use a special shampoo to wash your sideburns.
Sunlight can damage the transplanted area; it can leave spots or red dots. The patient should avoid direct exposure to sunlight as much as possible.
Since sweating increases the risk of infection, activities that cause sweating should be avoided for at least 1 month after sideburn transplantation.
