Monitor your budget. Facial hair transplant surgery is often as expensive as scalp surgery because it requires tedious labor and a delicate touch. If you are looking to create a fuller beard, it may be more expensive than just getting a small patch transplanted. Most doctors' offices have payment plans available to those who cannot pay upfront.

After anesthetizing your scalp and beard area, the doctor will take random hair follicles from your scalp and carefully create small holes in your beard using a tiny instrument. He will then implant the live hair follicle from your scalp into the hole he just created. Over time, your body will assimilate the hair follicle into the beard and treat it just like a regular beard hair. You will be able to shave it normally, and it will regrow. The entire process can take up to 2 hours.

Take care of your newly transplanted beard hair by not touching it for several days and allowing scabs to form. Do not pick at these scabs because you may remove the new hairs as well. Watch for signs of infection, and notify your doctor if you see pus or excessive bruising on your face. After a couple of weeks, you will be able to treat your new beard as you did before the surgery.
