Is a beard to head hair transplant a good procedure? I see some doctors that use it and some that are against it.

Asked By:BrainFluid in Sherman Oaks, CA

A lot of my hair in the donor areas was pulled out 2 years ago in an accident(no scarring or anything like that), so those are actually the thinnest parts but I have an decent beard, I know facial and head hair are always different but from what I see and feel, my beard and head hair are similar and I can grow a decently long beard. Could my beard hairs be used to fill up thin space?
