Rio Ferdinand has revealed he's undergone a hair and beard transplant, with the Manchester United icon recently showing off his results.
The 45-year-old visited the Dr Cinik hospital in Istanbul for the treatment, with a video published on social media.
Ferdinand, who now works for TNT Sports, says in the footage: "I'm here to get my beard sorted out, I've got a couple of holes, a couple of patches.
"Get my hair transplant done. I can't wait to get it done.

"Listen, if you're ever thinking about getting yours done, this is the place to be."
The video shows Ferdinand greeting Doctor Muhammet Emrah Cinik and undergoing various stages of the hair transplant treatment.
Ferdinand signs a Manchester United shirt at the end of the video to add to the football memorabilia inside the clinic.
The former England captain is also seen admiring a collection of signed shirts, with jerseys of Brazil, Liverpool, Marseille and Croatia all visible.
The Dr Cinik hospital says players such as Ryan Babel and Bacary Sagna are among their visitors.
David Trezeguet and Diego Lugano have gone there for dental work, too.
Ferdinand isn't the only former United star to undergo a hair transplant over the years.
Wayne Rooney underwent his first back in 2011.
And he then proceeded to have a second hair transplant two years later.
Ferdinand, meanwhile, previously admitted that he dyed his beard while speaking to Gabby Logan in 2021.
"I dye my beard sometimes; I get grey hairs here," said the retired defender.
"I dye it. I think it just looks better."
He added: "I'm not ashamed of having grey hair, I don't care, but it looks better if it's all one colour.
"If it all went grey, the whole beard was grey, I'd let it just go.
"But it's like patchwork. I'd like it, that distinguished look, if it was all grey, I wouldn't care.

"But it's the patchwork business, I'm like a Dalmatian, I don't like it."
Ferdinand is considered one of the best defenders in Premier League history.
He rose through the ranks at West Ham before moving to Leeds in 2000 - with a loan spell at Bournemouth in between.
After two years at Elland Road, Ferdinand proceeded to join Manchester United in 2002.
He experienced a slow start to life at Old Trafford but would end up becoming a legend of the club, starring as they won five Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson.
