Mustache Transplant: Natural, Full, and Harmonious with Your Face
The donor area for mustache transplant is the nape. Since nape hairs have a more textured structure, they are the most suitable source. As in hair transplant, the FUE method is used: hair follicles are extracted one by one under local anesthesia with special-tipped micromotors and carefully placed into the open areas in line with the natural mustache growth angle. All procedures are performed by our specialist doctors in accordance with World Of The Hair clinical protocols.

During the consultation, the current situation is evaluated; nape donor suitability, mustache shape, and density goals are determined. The mustache contour and borders are custom-designed according to both aesthetic preferences and medical requirements.
