A beard transplant for Gosport patients costs a fixed £2,899, all-inclusive whatever the number of grafts, carried out in one day under local anaesthetic by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. It thickens patchy growth or builds a new beard line using your own permanent hair, with 5☆ independently verified reviews and a free video consultation as the first step.
Beard Transplants for Gosport Patients with My Hair UK
A beard transplant is an FUE hair transplant applied to the face. Follicular units are taken one at a time from the donor area at the back and sides of your scalp, where hair is permanent, and placed into the cheeks, jawline, moustache or chin. Once healed they grow as beard hair: you shave it, trim it and style it like the rest. The full procedure is covered on our beard transplant page.
Most of the Gosport patients we hear from want thickening work rather than a beard built from nothing. Patchy cheeks, a gap between the moustache and the chin, thin sideburns or an uneven jawline are the typical cases. Patchiness is usually genetic, so it does not respond to waiting, and a transplant is the only treatment that adds permanent hair where there is none.
Your consultation happens either by video from home, or in-person with the surgeon who would carry out your procedure if you'd prefer to travel to the clinic (directions below). It is free, and you get an honest answer on whether a transplant is worth it in your case, including when it is not, along with your graft plan and the fixed price confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Beard Transplant Cost in Gosport
The price for Gosport patients is £2,899, fixed before surgery and unchanged by the graft count. Per-graft pricing is the industry norm, and it is why quotes elsewhere often arrive as a range that only settles once you are committed. We think that is the wrong way round. The number of grafts you need is a clinical decision, so it should not be a billing lever, and with a fixed fee the surgeon plans your beard around the best result rather than a price band.
The £2,899 is all-inclusive: surgery, local anaesthetic, clinic fees, aftercare pack and follow-up reviews. How that compares across the UK market, and why the price does not scale with grafts, is covered on our beard transplant cost page.
How Much Does a Beard Transplant Cost in Gosport?
Typical graft counts by area, with the fixed price alongside:
| 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 a Beard Transplant Works
The procedure runs in a single day under local anaesthetic. You are awake throughout, and most patients find the numbing injections the only uncomfortable part. Grafts are extracted individually from the donor area of the scalp, then placed one at a time at the flat angle beard hair naturally grows, following a design agreed with you before surgery starts.
The design stage matters more in beard work than anywhere else, because every line is on show. Before anything is placed, the surgeon draws the cheek line, jawline, neckline and moustache join directly onto your face and agrees it with you. Single-hair grafts go along the outlines, where the eye is most sensitive, so the edges look grown rather than drawn. You go home the same day.
How Many Grafts Does a Beard Transplant Take?
As a guide, these are the graft ranges each beard area usually needs:
| 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 |
Recovery, and When You Can Shave
Recovery is quicker than most patients expect. For the first few days the treated area shows a small scab at each graft with some redness, and the scabs lift over the first two weeks. The patient photographs in this section show it honestly: fine dotted scabbing the day after surgery, then the same beard at two weeks with the scabs cleared and only slight redness remaining. Do not shave the transplanted area for the first two weeks; after that it can be trimmed, and normal shaving usually resumes from around a month once the grafts are secure.
Between roughly week two and week eight the transplanted hairs shed. This is normal and it is not the grafts failing: the follicles stay in place, new growth starts at around three months, and the beard reaches its final density between nine and twelve months. We keep in touch through the regrowth period with regular monthly check-ins, and you have free follow-up consultations with your surgeon at 6 and 12 months, by video or in-person.

Travelling From Gosport
Gosport has had no railway since 1953, but the ferry across the harbour lands beside Portsmouth Harbour station, where South Western Railway reaches London Waterloo in around 1 hour 30 minutes, and Waterloo sits on the Bakerloo line, so the Harrow clinic is around two hours door to door. The Manchester clinic on Deansgate carries the same CQC registration, and Gosport patients who prefer the north are welcome there.
Whether home is Elson, Forton, Hardway or the Alver Valley, in God’s Port where Henry Cort learned to roll iron, fresh from the Explosion Museum at Priddy’s Hard, a walk through HMS Alliance at the Submarine Museum or the moat at Fort Brockhurst, book a free consultation with our trichology team, in person or by video call, and receive a tailored beard plan for Gosport patients with the fixed £2,899 price confirmed in writing.

At Waterloo the Bakerloo line runs north to Kenton in about 40 minutes, and the Harrow clinic is a short walk from the station, the last leg from Gosport. A Gosport patient on the Lee-on-the-Solent side is nearer Fareham station than the ferry, and Fareham has its own direct Waterloo trains.

The A32 Fareham Road to the M27 at Junction 11, east to the M3 at its Junction 14, the M3 north past Winchester and Basingstoke to the M25 at Junction 12, then clockwise past Staines to Junction 16 for the A40 and the A409 into Harrow, the end of the drive from Gosport.

Local GPs
Speak to your GP in Gosport before booking elective surgery; a few conditions and medications affect graft survival, and the surgeon will want that history at consultation. Gosport patients are asked the same medical questions at consultation whichever practice they use, so an unlisted Gosport surgery is no barrier. Gosport’s practices have merged into a handful of groups; two more with their own sites:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a beard transplant cost in Gosport?
£2,899 for Gosport patients, as a single fixed price whatever the number of grafts, up to the 3,500 that can safely be placed in one day. The price is agreed before surgery and nothing is added on the day.
2. Do I need to travel from Gosport for a beard transplant?
Yes, once. Surgery is a single day at a CQC-registered partner clinic in central Manchester or Harrow, north-west London, whichever suits you better. The consultation is free, by video from home or in-person at the clinic if you prefer, and follow-up runs by video unless you would rather come in, so the only required travel is the day of surgery itself.
3. How natural are beard transplant results?
Natural enough that the giveaway is usually old photographs rather than the beard itself. The result depends on placement angle and outline design, which is why the surgeon draws the design on your face and agrees it with you before a single graft is placed.
4. What graft numbers are typical for beard work?
Ranges run from 200 to 300 for a sideburn up to 2,000 to 2,500 for full beard construction, with the moustache, chin and cheeks in between. Your exact number is set at consultation, and because the price is fixed it changes nothing about the cost.
5. Who is a good candidate for a beard transplant?
Men whose beard pattern has settled and who have a healthy scalp donor area. Genetic patchiness is the classic case. Suitability is confirmed at the free consultation, and if the surgical team does not think a transplant would serve you well, they will say so.
6. Is the £2,899 really the full price?
Yes. It includes the surgeon and surgical team, local anaesthetic, all clinic fees, aftercare products and follow-up reviews. It is agreed before surgery and does not change with the number of grafts.
7. Is there an age requirement for a beard transplant?
You need to be over 18, but the real question is whether your beard pattern has settled, which for most men is by the mid twenties. Transplanting into a pattern that is still changing risks a result that stops matching the beard around it, and the surgeon will advise honestly on timing.
