It�s shear madness! Brooklyn�s hipster beard craze has grown so popular that men in New York are rushing to doctors for �facial hair transplants� � surgery that helps make beards look thicker and less patchy, sources said.

Stubble-challenged guys are forking over up to $8,500 for the beard-boosting procedure, which has spiked in popularity in recent months, plastic surgeons told The Post.

�Brooklyn is probably the nucleus of the trend, it�s the hipster �look� guys want. If you have a spotty beard, and you let it grow out, it looks sloppy, � said Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, a Midtown-based plastic surgeon.

�[Clients] want full beards because it�s a masculine look. Beards are an important male identifier,� he added.

Epstein performs two or three beard implants per week � up from just a handful each year a couple years ago, he said.

The specific hipster-inspired style � a lumberjack-meets-roadie hybrid � was made popular in neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Bushwick and Park Slope, doctors and patients said.

One happy patient is Danny, 27, whose beard used to be so patchy, he was forced to �fill it in� with an eyebrow pencil, he said.

Two years ago, he paid $8,500 for the surgery, which he considers a fashion statement.

�I have a baby face but now I�m able to look older. My fashion statement is a little edgy, and I do like the �rugged look,�� he said,

He added, �It�s one of the best investments I�ve ever made.�

During the procedure, doctors remove hair from other body parts, including the head and chest, before implanting it in the face.

New beards grow back normally and can be shaved.

The hair-raising trend is also popular with female-to-male transgenders, Hasidic Jews, and guys who simply aren�t very hairy, doctors said.

�It�s the style. It�s just more common now to see scruff than ten years ago,� said Dr. Yael Halaas, a Midtown plastic surgeon, who performs the procedure.

�We�ve been getting a lot more calls about it,� she said.

A 39-year-old New Yorker, who works in catering industry, got a beard transplant to make him feel younger, DNAinfo.com reported.

�I had contemplated [getting a beard transplant] for approximately eight months,� he said, �Knowing the results, I wish I hadn�t wasted so much time deciding,� he said.

I'll donate some of my back hair if they want

This explains why the guy looks like a dick.

�[Clients] want full beards because it�s a masculine look. Beards are an important male identifier,� he addeed.





I can see their trouble finding a "male identifier".

If he thinks that look is edgy he better keep his sweet @ss in NY.

I'd gladly pay 8500 to get rid of the beard altogether and never have to shave again.

these are the little [bleep] in Audis stuck in 3 inch snow drifts on their eyephones bawling for 911 to bail their dumbass out

I have hair everywhere and if some of those twits want it I would gladly give most of it away.

And the skinny prick in the picture with the bum-fluff on his face just looks like a dork.

These pictures, actually make me angry. I believe it's a primal thing, my inner caveman says "smash".

Kick a road flare up their ass and flatten the back of their heads with a shovel...

i'd sell them mine for a lot less.

My brother grows a 5 oclock shadow before noon. I could let mine go for 6 months and still look clean shaven. I figure in my life I've saved at least $56 on shave cream and razors. Woo hoo.

$8500. What a tool.

mine looks like dirty gray shag carpeting that someone pissed on. used to be chestnut brown and lovely. sucks to get old.

Held the door open for this hot lookin 20 sumthin yesterday. And she said thanks Sir. Felt like tripping her when she walked by

Welcome to the city where Image and Style are more important than Character and Substance.

Those skinny little girl legs do nothing for his manly image either.

Now I know where all that puzzie hair women have been pulling outs been going.

haha! I agree. My damn beard starts at my collar and goes to my eyeballs.

Just a case of Robertson fever.

$8500?

Good lord. Our descendents are going to think we have all went completely mad. And tbh I starting to feel the same way when I read some of this foolishness.

Will

they pay all that money to look like a guy who has been fishing all summer. Hipsters are gay.

What are they going to do in 10 years when they are doing being "cool"?

Shaving sucks.
