Would rosacea (inflammation) inhibit a beard transplant from "taking hold"?

Question

I can only grow facial hair in areas on my face that isn't a little red from rosacea. So I'm wondering, if I have a beard transplant surgery, will the inflammation caused by the rosacea inhibit the facial hair from taking root or what have you

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Having a skin condition such as rosacea should not affect the result of your hair transplant surgery.   If you are concerned, ask your doctor.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Rosacea
is not a dermatological condition that would impede growth of your grafts.  However, my recommendation would be to have
it evaluated and possibly treated with lasers such as V beam laser then wait a
few months before having a beard transplant.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

having rosacea should not make a difference if you have a hair transplant, but a test graft can be done to find out for sure
