Bruising after beard transplant (Photo)

arkveeSep 21, 2016
I had a beard transplant on 8th Sept with 1,200 grafts' to cover patches on my cheeks. The scabs were removed on 17th and not visible now. However, the bruising is still visible. How long will it take for the bruising to go off?

Beard hair is a genetic trait.  There is no medication to grow a beard.  Some try topical minoxidil but you would need to use it forever.

Generally its fine to trim hair about two weeks after the transplant. Really as long as all the scabs are washed off it shouldn't be an issue, but you should ask your doctor if that's okay, just in case.

We need to evaluate if you never had beard or moustache in those areas is more likely that because of your genetic predisposition you are not going to have it. The only permanent option is the hair transplant to those areas. Is permanent and you have amazing donor area so if you really want that...
