I have KP on my cheeks and was wondering if this would cause bad results if I were to get a facial hair transplant. It is hard for me to tell if KP is the reason I have no hair on my face. I have very little hair on my body or face. I went in for a consultation with a well known cosmetic surgeon and she said she does not think it will be a problem. I just want other opinions before I spend 10 grand on a procedure like this.

Answer: A second opinion on the Internet without an examination would not be ideal. If you want another opinion
The bumps you are referring to show up very well in the photo. It reflects that the grafts were elevated at the time the beard was transplanted and the skin healed elevated. There is nothing much you can do about this surgical error.
The
best way to judge when and how your beard will fill in is to ask the male family members when
they started to grow beard hair. Minoxidil
works by helping you keep the hair you have.
If you don’t have the hair yet, you have to wait for the hormones to
kick in to first give you beard hair.
It can take over a month for transplanted hairs to fall out initially, so not seeing any shedding at day 12 is nothing to be alarmed about. Using scissors should also be fine, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. As for the bumps, you need to see your doctor. Without a picture or any sort...
