Beard transplant 3 months ago. Paralysed in regret ever since. Usually a well considered person, but got greedy with wanting the ability to be clean shaven or have a joined up beard. This was an experienced surgeon, with a good aesthetic result. However, I feel so fake, embarrassed ashamed and in a deep state of depression. I’m desperate to clean shave.
