I'm having a beard transplant soon, and our goal is to fill in my patchy beard. I have sideburns and a goatee but bald cheeks. If we transplant scalp hair to the bald areas, will I have a uniform stubble when I trim? The purpose of the beard transplant isn't to grow a mighty beard; I just want to have coverage in my cheeks. My hope is that the transplanted areas won't be extremely distinct from the beard hair that's already there, since I like to wear a stubble look. Thanks for reading!
