FUE: what are the risks of using my beard for the donor area?

February 10, 2018
Asked By:pablo s. in San Diego, CA

One doctor I have consulted with recommends taking 700 grafts from my beard, below the chin. This would be in addition to 3000 grafts from the back of my head. However, I am hesitant about this . Is there a chance of scarring? I'm also worried about the appearance of my neck after the procedure and the time it will take to heal. Any feedback is appreciated!
