Many have done this procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted March 8, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 8, 2017 At first glance, what stands out to me that may make your case complicated is that your surrounding facial hair seems to be extremely dense/full. For that reason, it may be difficult to match that density with transplanted hairs, but that's something that a qualified surgeon can address when/if you set up a consultation with them. That said, it's definitely worth looking into, as these types of procedures are possible. You can find lots of cases on this site by recommended surgeons who do beard transplants. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. David Josephitis Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi,I have this scar on my face (please see attached pictures) which i received when i was a baby, is there a way to to perform a beard transplant to it, maybe with FUE or maybe some other treatment... ? Thanks, Peter. I think Beard FUE would be an excellent way to help cover the scar. Typically we can get anywhere from 300-500 beard FUE grafts in a session. Because you have scaring also in the underside of the beard where we typically take the hair from, we would probably only get 200 -300 grafts. We could also take scalp FUE to supplement that. It is most likely going to take more than one session to really blend in the area. After one session of FUE into the scar, oftentimes the skin become more normal and softer. May goal for you would be to evenly place graft on the side and underside of your chin. That way, after shaving you would have a more even shadow.

Thank you for your response, How many sessions do you are required in my case? I am planning to perform the operation not in my country so I would like to minimize the session count... Also, do I need to insist on beard area as the donor or it is not critical? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Hairprincess Posted March 10, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 10, 2017 I think FUE or Strip method could work for this case. Its hard transplanting into a scar in general but its worth having a consult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pit181 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi, if i perform a fue treatment and i am not satisfied with the result (suppose the density is too low), is it possible to perform another treatment on the same area? thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
