What Is a Goatee Transplant?

A goatee transplant restores hair on the chin and around the mouth. Depending on your style, it can include the chin itself, the soul patch under the lower lip, the mustache, and the lines that connect the mustache to the chin. Dr. Aneel harvests follicles from the back of your scalp by FUE and implants them only in this central area of the face.

Chin hair grows downward and slightly forward, and the hair under the lip points toward the center. Getting these directions right is what makes a goatee look natural rather than transplanted. The cheeks are left alone, which keeps the graft count moderate and suits men who prefer a clean-shaven look on the sides. As with every facial procedure at our hair transplant center in Lahore, the outline is drawn and agreed before any graft is taken.

Goatee Transplant Candidates

• Thin chin growth: the chin grows sparse hair that will not hold a goatee shape.
• Missing connectors: the mustache and chin do not join at the corners of the mouth.
• Bare soul patch area: little or no hair under the lower lip.
• Chin scars: a scar on or under the chin that breaks up the goatee.
• Clean cheeks by choice: you want a strong goatee but no full beard, so only the center of the face is treated.

Goatee Transplant Procedure

1. Style selection: you and Dr. Aneel choose the goatee shape, from a chin-only style to a full circle beard.
2. Line drawing: the borders of the chin, soul patch and connectors are marked on your face.
3. Local anaesthesia: the chin, mouth area and scalp donor are numbed. You stay awake.
4. Donor harvest: Dr. Aneel extracts the follicles himself from the back of the scalp.
5. Angle-matched implantation: grafts are set downward on the chin and angled toward the center under the lip.
6. Aftercare briefing: you go home the same day with advice on eating, drinking and washing around the mouth.

Goatee Transplant FAQs

How much does a goatee transplant cost in Lahore?

Our 2026 estimate ranges from PKR 48,000 for a small chin and soul patch to about PKR 270,000 for an extended goatee. Call 0341-7555512 for your final price.

How many grafts does a goatee need?

The chin alone usually needs 600 to 900 grafts. Adding the mustache and connecting lines can take the total to 1,200 to 1,800.

Can I add cheek hair later?

Yes. Dr. Aneel plans the goatee so a later cheek or full beard session can blend in if you change your mind.

Is eating difficult after a goatee transplant?

The chin and lips can feel swollen for a few days. Soft foods and a straw help, and most men eat normally within a week.

When can I shape my goatee?

Once the grafts have healed and we clear you at follow-up, you can trim and shape it like natural facial hair.
