Beard Transplant. Best excuses when someone notices beard out of no where when I come back to work?

There will be some scabbing at the site of the transplanted follicles.  A story where you cut yourself shaving will make you look like a butcher.  "A rash" will send your coworkers running.  Depending on when you feel comfortable  returning to work and how thick your surrounding beard is are different factors for everyone. 

You asking a group of doctors how best to lie when you get to work?  Maybe you can post your question on the lawyers or politician question and answer page.

First, it's not like you're going to look like a member of duck dynasty all of a sudden. The transplanted hairs will actually shed after a month. Just keep it clipped short for a few months -- throw them off the scent. Then after about 6 months, let it go. It will be gradual enough that few will notice. Good luck!

I'm excited about your beard transplant.  In my practice they generally turn out great and my patients are proud to wear their new facial hair and tell their friends.  I'm sure your friends will notice your new beard and I'm sure you will be very happy when they do notice!  

Congratulations on getting a beard transplant in advance.  Hopefully the results are so natural and the people you work with are so respectful that this concern does not become a reality.  As a rule, I do not encourage my patients to lie. Often, if you address your situation with humor, it defuses any uncomfortable questioning.

I can not advise you on any story you can make up. Why not be honest if someone notices. Prrobably, within 2 weeks after the beard transplant if there is no redness, no one will probably pick it up
