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

December 24, 2021
Asked By:HerbertK in Istanbul, TR

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?
