Background:
Psychosocial problems are very common in eunuchoids and may be related to the impact of underlying disorders on the physical appearance which makes them unable to overcome the sense of inferiority of childhood. A beardless patient treated with follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is reported here.
Objective:
Such patients desire to get rid of a boyish appearance and want to achieve a masculine appearance. One of the easiest methods to achieve this goal is FUT.
Methods:
By using an 18-gauge needle, the recipient bed was prepared under local anesthesia after premedication, and 1200 one- or two-hair micrografts were transplanted to the perioral (goatee) and its extensions to the sideburns.
Results:
After completion of the procedure to the planned area, we achieved restoration of a masculine appearance which made the patient seem quite satisfied.
Conclusion:
The process of beard reconstruction is time consuming and tedious, but highly effective.
