Dr. Hakan Doğanay 4000 Hair + 800 Beard Grafts: Patient Result
Patient-reported case archive: This archive documents a mixed-source transplant using 4,000 scalp-hair grafts and 800 beard grafts.
Case Summary
- Doctor: Dr. Hakan Doğanay
- Hair grafts: 4,000
- Beard grafts: 800
- Total grafts: 4,800
- Procedure dates: 29–30 August
- Coverage: the patient says transplantation extended to the vertex entrance, with possible future crown work discussed
The patient reports 4,000 scalp grafts and 800 beard grafts over 29–30 August, with coverage extending toward the vertex entrance. Beard and scalp hair can differ in calibre and growth characteristics, so the source and intended placement of each graft matter when assessing the cosmetic result. The patient’s description of postoperative swelling records an early healing stage, not the final outcome. The possibility of later crown work was discussed in this individual account and is not a general recommendation.

Scalp and Beard Donor Allocation in This Two-Day Case
According to the patient’s account, Dr. Hakan Doğanay’s team performed a two-day procedure on 29–30 August, using 4,000 scalp-donor grafts and 800 beard-donor grafts, for 4,800 total. The narrative does not independently verify a procedure year. Coverage reportedly reached the entrance to the crown, but the patient describes leaving possible additional vertex work for another time.
Because beard and scalp hair differ in characteristics, this case should not be compared with scalp-only graft totals without considering hair calibre, recipient zones and donor preservation. The patient also mentions swelling and personal preferences about future sessions. These early observations are not medical aftercare instructions or an assessment of final cosmetic density. For general context see our donor-area guide.
Hello friends
On August 29-30, I had 4000 grafts of hair transplantation + 800 grafts of beard transplantation by Hakan DOĞANAY’s team.
Doctor Hakan Bey examined my grafts and stated that they were very good and thick, and I hope the coverage would be more. Normally, it was said that max 2500-3000 grafts maybe 3500 will be removed, but Doctor Hakan Bey preferred to feed it with 4000 graft hair and 800 graft beard that would not be enough.
The hair was transplanted until the vertex entrance, and after 1 year after the donor’s recovery, we can transplant hair if you want. According to him, if I am uncomfortable, I can transplant the vertex 1 year later, but I do not think about entering this situation again, I think I will manage with spray topik.
As seen in the picture where the hair is hit to zero, my hair is rounded, if it is M-shaped, it is adapted to the existing line as it will affect the appearance aesthetics because the hair will remain in front of the line, but it is curved due to edema and some graft traces removed after the line correction is performed, it is smoother in the last photo. He said there is a very slight acidmetry, you cannot notice when the hair grows.
This is really a more laborious process than I guess edema still continues. There is no pain, but there is edema.
I do not intend to make short, short posts. I plan to post once a month after sharing the shell dump.
See you again. Thank you.
