A beard transplant thickens patchy areas or shapes a new beard line using your own permanent hair. For Solihull patients the price is a fixed £2,899, 5☆ rated and all-inclusive with no hidden extras, delivered in a single day by GMC-registered surgeons at CQC-registered clinics. A few photographs and a free video consultation are enough for a clear plan and an honest answer on suitability.
Beard Transplant Surgery in Solihull 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 Solihull 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 Solihull
The price for Solihull 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 Solihull?
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 |
Healing, Shaving and Results
Most Solihull 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How much does a beard transplant cost in Solihull?
£2,899 for Solihull 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. Where would I go for my surgery from Solihull?
Surgery takes place at CQC-registered partner clinics in central Manchester and Harrow, north-west London, and for most Solihull patients London (Harrow) is the practical choice. It is a single day of surgery, so it is one travel day, and your consultation happens first, by video from home or in-person at the clinic if you prefer.
3. Do beard transplant results last?
They do. Donor hair is taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where follicles are genetically resistant to balding, and that resistance travels with them. The transplanted beard hair is permanent and behaves like the beard around it.
4. How many grafts will my beard need?
It depends on the areas treated: sideburns typically take 200 to 300 each, a moustache 400 to 500, the goatee and chin 600 to 700, and cheeks 300 to 600 each side. Even full construction at 2,000 to 2,500 grafts fits in one day, and the price is the same fixed £2,899 regardless.
5. Can you transplant into alopecia areata in the beard?
No responsible surgeon transplants into active alopecia barbae, because the same process can attack the transplanted follicles. If your patches appeared suddenly as smooth round spots, get a diagnosis first. Stable genetic patchiness, by contrast, is the standard beard transplant case.
6. Will the price change once the surgeon sees my beard?
No. £2,899 is the price for every beard transplant, agreed in writing before surgery, whatever graft count your plan turns out to need. There are no on-the-day additions.
7. Will new grafts blend with my existing beard hair?
They will, provided the angles are right, which is a placement skill. Grafts are set flat to the skin in the direction your existing beard grows, and since the donor hair is your own it matches in colour and texture and greys along with the rest.
