Beard transplant pricing for Eastbourne patients is 5☆ all-inclusive at a fixed £2,899, whatever the number of grafts, with GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics and no hidden extras. The procedure fills patchy growth or builds a new beard line in a single day under local anaesthetic, and it starts with a free video consultation from home.
Beard Transplant Surgery in Eastbourne with My Hair UK
A patchy or incomplete beard is one of the few cosmetic problems with a genuinely permanent fix. A beard transplant moves follicular units, one at a time, from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp into the areas of your beard that need them. Donor hair is not affected by balding, so once the transplanted hairs grow in they are yours for good: shaved, trimmed and styled like the rest. The surgery is explained fully on our beard restoration and transplant page.
For Eastbourne patients the practical shape of it is one free consultation, by video from home or in-person at the clinic, then a single day of surgery, because even full beard construction fits within one session. Everything is settled beforehand: the design, the graft plan and the fixed £2,899 price, all agreed with the surgeon before the day itself.
Whether you are a good candidate depends on your growth pattern and what you want to achieve. Patchy cheeks, thin sideburns and gaps around the chin respond well. If your patchiness appeared suddenly as smooth round spots, that can be alopecia barbae, which needs a diagnosis rather than a transplant, and the surgeon will tell you so plainly at consultation.
Beard Transplant Cost in Eastbourne
A beard transplant costs £2,899 for Eastbourne patients. That is a single fixed price whatever the number of grafts, agreed before surgery, and it does not move on the day. It covers the surgeon's time, the anaesthetic, all clinic fees, aftercare products and your follow-up reviews. There is nothing to add and nothing to negotiate.
Most UK clinics price beard work per graft, which means the bill depends on a number you cannot check yourself. A fixed fee removes that conversation entirely: whether your plan needs 600 grafts around the chin or 2,500 for full construction, the price is the same £2,899. The full breakdown is on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Eastbourne?
Whatever combination of areas your plan covers, the price is the same:
| Area | Typical Grafts | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Moustache | 400-500 | £2,899 |
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side | £2,899 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 | £2,899 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side | £2,899 |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 | £2,899 |
How the Surgery Works
A beard transplant is a one-day procedure under local anaesthetic: design first, extraction second, placement third, home the same evening. The design is drawn on your face and agreed with you before surgery begins, because in beard work the outline is everything, and single-hair grafts are used along the edges so the result reads as grown rather than drawn on.
Beard hair also reads as full at a lower density than scalp work, around 25 to 40 grafts per square centimetre against the 40 a scalp hairline needs, which is why graft numbers that sound modest go a long way on the face. The safe ceiling is 3,500 grafts in a day, and even full beard construction sits comfortably inside a single day for most patients.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
The usual graft requirements area by area:
| Area | Typical Grafts |
|---|---|
| Sideburns | 200-300 each side |
| Moustache | 400-500 |
| Goatee and chin | 600-700 |
| Cheeks | 300-600 each side |
| Full beard | 2,000-2,500 |
Beard Transplant Recovery Timeline
Most Eastbourne patients plan around a fortnight of visible healing: small scabs at each graft site that clear inside two weeks, then fading redness. Rather than describe that in the abstract, the photographs in this section show a real patient the day after surgery and again at two weeks, once the scabs have healed and dropped away. The transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, which is an expected part of the cycle rather than a problem, and regrowth starts at around three months. Final density arrives between nine and twelve months.
You cannot shave the treated area for the first two weeks. Trimming is fine after that, and normal shaving usually resumes at about a month. Aftercare is included, with monthly check-ins to make sure your growth is on track, free 6 and 12 month follow-up consultations with your surgeon (video or in-person), and the clinic on hand if anything needs a closer look.

Getting to the Clinics From Eastbourne
Eastbourne to London Victoria is around 1 hour 30 minutes on Southern, from the Italianate station with the clock tower that F D Bannister designed in 1886, so the Harrow clinic is a straightforward day from the sunniest town in Britain. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Eastbourne patients who prefer the north are welcome there. Hampden Park is a separate station serving the northern suburbs.
Whether home is Langney, Hampden Park, Sovereign Harbour or Willingdon, in the town where Debussy corrected the proofs of La Mer, fresh from the galleries of Towner Eastbourne in Devonshire Park, a summer concert at the Bandstand or a ride on the Miniature Steam Railway at Lottbridge Drove, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Eastbourne patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does a beard transplant cost for Eastbourne patients?
The price is £2,899, fixed and all-inclusive, however many grafts your plan needs. It covers the surgery, anaesthetic, clinic fees, aftercare products and follow-up reviews, and it is agreed in writing before surgery.
2. Is there a beard transplant clinic in Eastbourne?
Surgery for Eastbourne patients is carried out at CQC-registered clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, rather than in Eastbourne itself. Because the procedure is completed in a single day, most patients treat it as one travel day, and everything before and after surgery can be handled by video from home, with the free consultation also available in-person at the clinic if you prefer.
3. Is a beard transplant permanent?
Yes. The grafts come from the donor area of the scalp, where hair is not affected by balding, and they keep that permanence in the beard. Once grown in, the hair is shaved, trimmed and styled like the rest of your beard.
4. How long does a beard transplant take to heal?
Scabbing clears in around two weeks, leaving slight redness that fades. The transplanted hairs shed between weeks two and eight, regrowth begins at around three months, and the final result settles between nine and twelve months.
5. What if my beard gaps appeared suddenly?
Sudden smooth, round bald spots in the beard can be alopecia barbae, an autoimmune condition, and transplanting into it is the wrong treatment. It needs a diagnosis first. Long-standing, stable patchiness is a different matter and usually suits a transplant well.
6. Can a beard transplant thicken an existing beard?
Yes. Thickening existing growth is the bulk of beard transplant work: adding density to thin cheeks, closing the moustache-to-chin join, or evening up a jawline. The grafts are placed to follow your existing pattern so the result reads as one beard, not two.
7. What aftercare support do I get after a beard transplant?
Aftercare products and instructions on the day, regular monthly check-ins to make sure your growth is progressing, and free follow-up consultations with your surgeon at 6 and 12 months, by video or in-person. For Eastbourne patients the routine contact all happens from home.
