Can I shave after getting the beard transplant done?

Question

After getting the beard transplantation done, by any chance can we have a clean shave because, there will be occasions where we need to be well groomed. If we get shaved, will we get the beard back like normal where our hair grow after having a hair cut or shaving our head bald. Please help with an answer. Thank you.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   You can shave after your skin has healed.

My recommendation is to wait 4 weeks post transplant to shave. Dependent on where the hairs are grafted from the results are normally quite natural.

As long as you wait at least a month before shaving, it should be fine. Always follow up with your surgeon though in case there is something about your particular procedure that would have you wait longer.

For shaving after a beard transplant wait at least 3 weeks for everything to heal and all of the crusts must be off
