Need hair removed from tragus. Should I see a plastic surgeon or ordinary laser hair removal facility? (Photo)

January 8, 2015
Asked By:james J in Atlanta, GA

After facelift, doctor did not kill the hair roots when he pulled my facial skin towards the back of my head and attached the skin to the tragus. Now, my tragus is growing beard stubble and my 'beardline' is close to ear and behind it. Where is the best place to go to get the hair growing in the tragus removed? Should I go see a plastic surgeon or visit a good laser removal place? Doctor also left wrinkles in tragus from the surgery stitches.
