Before & After Analysis

Before his hair transplant, Joe Biden had significant hair loss, with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, making him appear almost bald at the front. After the initial procedure, his hairline was lower and denser, but the use of large plugs gave it an unnatural, 'corn-row' appearance. Subsequent refinements and the natural graying of his hair have softened this, creating a fuller and more natural look.

Hair Restoration Journey

Joe Biden's hair has visibly changed over his decades in the public eye. While he has never confirmed it, experts believe he underwent a hair transplant using older 'plug' techniques, likely in the late 1980s. This initial procedure left him with a dense but unnatural-looking hairline. It is widely speculated that he has since had additional, more modern procedures to refine the initial work, resulting in the more natural look he has today. The graying of his hair has also helped to soften the appearance of the older plugs.

Public Statements

In 1987, a Washington Post reporter asked the then-senator whether he had had a transplant. “Guess,” Biden said. “I’ve got to keep some mystery in my life.”
