How many grafts would it be to connect my beard/mustache/goatee? (photos)

rebelliousfrog973Sep 22, 2019
Not looking to add to my already existing beard. I Just want to have a connection between the other areas of hair I have. I am satisfied with the length I can grow with the beard I have now, however there are areas that have never grown in.

Bumps can occur even in the best of hands. The key is that after the extraction, the grafts are looked at under the microscope and the excess skin surrounding the follicle is there is trimmed. This is why beard cases are more complex! Hope that helps!

Yes. That is normal. Redness can last approx 30 days so be patient with it as it needs time to heal.
