I have a bald spot on my jaw. Can it be covered up by permanent makeup that is resembling fresh shaven skin? (photo)

Question

This bald spot stands out even when I'm shaven clean and stands out even more when there is a bit of stubble. Any suggestion on the ways I can cover it up?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you have a hair transplant surgery it can help but it may be full enough when you shave the area.  You may need more than one surgery.  If you are not going to grow a beard and want a close shave, Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) can help. A combination of both would be ideal.

Hi, and thanks for the question. Actually, hair from the back of the head  can be transplanted to that bald area.  I prefer using FUE technique (NeoGraft).   The procedure should take about 4 hours.

If you do not intend to let your beard grow out, then scalp micropigmentation is a good option. See the web reference below

You candor tattoo to give it a tint or do hair transplant to cover the bald spot. Wither way could give a good result.

The best suggestion we can offer is to go with FUE. It is a new hair transplant procedure that transfers hair follicles to a needed area. We often do facial hair transplants and this is the perfect example of why someone might be interested in doing so. We wish you the best of luck!

You might be better off with hair transplants. That way you have the option of wearing a beard of any length or being clean shaven.
