How long would I need to wait between beard transplant & buccal fat removal?

December 30, 2023
Asked By:Terrific325555 in Texas

Hi...I'm having a beard transplant at the end of January and am looking at buccal fat removal later in the year. How long would I need to wait after the beard transplant before buccal fat removal to ensure transplanted hairs are not disrupted and effective buccal fat removal can be performed? Sorry if this is in the wrong section as I wasn't sure if beard transplant or buccal fat category was more appropriate. Thanks for answering.
