Beard transplant - is it possible to fix fix bald patches under chin? (Photo)

HerbertKDec 24, 2021
Hello, one month ago I've done hair transplant. With recommendation from doctor, my beard also used as donor (400 grafts). Sadly they used way too many hairs from under chin and the area was overharvested. Now I have very few hair under chin that are not able to provide solid base for my beard which I'am allways wearing to cover my wierd jaw/chin shape. Is it somehow possible to fill the gap that was caused by overharvesting, preferably get as close to original as possible?

As you mentioned there is scar tissue as with any other procedure. However, there are a number of things that can be done to minimize scarring such as placing grafts at the appropriate level (so they are not too high up or to low down). The smallest incisions possible can be made that will still...

There are different options for removing beard transplant. One component is the unwanted hair. If this is the main concern, procedures such as laser hair removal could be considered. If the surrounding skin/scar tissue is part of the main concern, laser hair removal will not change this. If...
