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

Question

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?

Hello,
It is possible to increase density on the sparse patches with the DHI technique but we should see your current situation with the back of your head as it will be the donor area for this procedure.

Providing there is enough donor area, you can restore your beard's density using hair follicles from the back and sides of your head.

Unfortunately, there is no solution to restore an over-harvested donor area. The extracted grafts will not grow hair any more on the donor area. We can just recommend you to do micro-pigmentation to fill out the spots. Also, you are 1 month post-op, the healing is still in process. It is better to wait at least 3-4 months to see the final shape of the beard.
