Can I shave my beard (transplanted beard) with a trimmer 10 days post op?

September 14, 2015
Asked By:john.is.happy in East Pittsburgh, PA

I had a beard transplant 10 days ago and all my scabs are gone. I really want to shave my beard because I don't plan to get back to work with a full weird looking beard. I think the area is healed but my skin is little dry.

Beard transplant is possible but you cannot choose which color.  The color of hair will be the same as the color of hair from your donor area.
