Beard grafts and scarring due to FUE


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

Whilst FUE will not result in a linear scar, as far as I'm aware it will still result in lots of very small dot-like scars in the donor area.

With this in mind, does this mean that when beard hair is removed as grafts to be used in a hair transplant, there will be many dot-like scars in the facial donor area where they were removed from the beard?

Presumably, therefore, someone who has grafts removed from their beard would have to keep a beard afterwards in they want to hide these dot-like scars on their face i.e. they wouldn't be able to go clean shaven?

Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

The beard area heals extremely well. Plus if you keep the donor area to a section under your chin it will be in a location that won't easily be seen by anyone. I've had over 2300 beard grafts removed and I still shave regularly.

Beard hair healing i guess depends in the extraction style, tool, doctor , etc.  

 

i had some beard hairs extracted and yes there is some scarring there with the surgeon that did it, even on my chest there is scarring even though i was told it should subside later and would heal.  
 

ive heard Dr Bisanga and Dr Mwamba and etc have better success with healing.
