Asked By:Mike1229 in New York, New York

I had a beard transplant done about 7 months ago. I didn’t really notice how bad my donor area was because I was more concerned about the beard itself..can you please tell me if this was done correctly because everytime I contact the Doctor he says everything is fine..I’m very concerned I ruined my hair for the rest of my life..
