Skin discoloration after beard transplant - 12 months post operation. (Photos)

Question

Dear Doctors, pictures taken 12 months after 3000 grafts transplant and a close straight razor shave above red line: heavily transplanted area between lines: moderately transplanted Complaints: -the dark color surrounding the grafts -the skin is bumpy, is this cobblestoning? My doctor says this is the best we could do as your skin is light and your hair is dark, he suggested getting a tan and laser removing individual grafts. Are there any other treatments that could improve my condition?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is difficult to see the discoloration or cobble stoning on your photos.  There isn't much you can do at this point. for cobble stoning. Removing grafts may cause more scarring.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Symptoms of the dark color surrounding the grafts and bumping skin may make us think of post traumatic hyperpigmentation and  tiny scar formation at implant sites . Laser treatments may help to decrease dark color change of the skin .tanning may make the situation worst.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Cobblestonning does not show up well on the photos, but if you have cobblestonning it may be related to the amount of skin that you had on the recipient grafts. Also this skin is sensitive to sun. I always trim off the skin when I transplant the beard or scalp
