BeHappy, thanks so much for that thought and comment; though to my knowledge facial skin does not have the same characteristic makeup as scalp skin (and any docs or moderators that can confirm that statement it would be greatly appreciated) therefore i wouldn't want to use someones post-recovery recipient-site-scalp response, as the basis to do a procedure to my recipient-site face. And as mentioned in the starting post in the thread, there is extremely little of both info and imagery, regarding scarring on the recipient face-site during a beard transplant.

Hi Bill, Good afternoon, i am having the same issue trying to PM members. Can you see on your end if my account has the same restrictions which you described in this thread? Thanks in advance.

Hello Community, First, thank you in advance for reading this. I have done 4 hours of research and have still been unsuccessful in finding an answer to the following question: 1.When going to one of the top rated HT surgeons for getting a facial/beard hair transplant (whereby you are transplanting hair to the face/the face is the recipient site), what is the probability that the recipient site (the face) will show scarring from where the recipient site incisions were made, when it is clean shaved? I believe the reason that it has been very hard for me to find information on this question during the last 4 hours i have spent researching it, is because it is assumed that if one is getting a beard/facial hair transplant, then this would not be a concern to them, as that transplant patient would be having hair on their face anyways. However in my case, i'd like to just add some thickness to my patchy beard when i choose to wear one. But i don't want this procedure to forever preclude me from being able to wear a clean shaven face, due to having facial scars from the incisions made at the facial recipient site during the facial HT procedure. *Please note when commenting, that i prefaced this question to be specifically as it relates to getting this work done by one of the top HT transplant surgeons (and hopefully those such doctors who perform this procedure can provide their comments in this thread). That is because i already know, that if the work is done by a bad/unskilled/inexperienced doctor (which i would never allow one to touch me) then the results could/should be expected to be correspondingly bad (and that really applies to any medical procedure of any kind). So please provide your comments in the context of what should be expected as far as facial recipient site scarring when going to one of the top-rated HT docs. Thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts, they are greatly appreciated and immeasurably helpful. I'm sure your comments will help others besides me as well, because as i said there is very little information anywhere on this particular question, and i'm sure that beard/facial HT patients would like to keep the option of wearing a clean shaven face reserved.
