How do people with botched hair transplants deal with them until they're repaired?

[braun453]

I got a slightly bad moustache transplant where some hairs were transplanted slightly higher up on my face than normal. I plan to get rid of them after they fully grow, through electrolysis or laser or whatever. But until then I'm wondering what I can do to hide the unwelcome hair.

My plan - Clean shave is what I'm gonna do, may be apply some concealer make up to hide the black dots (if I get them) when I go out. I hope I don't end up with a drawn on look, my transplant contour looks pretty random and I also got lot of singles transplanted. Hopefully I can shave it all off without leaving a shadow.

Wondering what others in similar situations do..

Can you upload pictures of your situation to see it ?

your situation is a bit unique bro as it's directly on your face, i really feel for you. the rest of us just wear hats and have to do super specific styling to cover the problem areas. i hope you can find a resolution

I'm hoping shaving the unwanted hairs off as they start to grow should be good..?

I hope they don't grow at all lol.. I read about 80-90% of the grafts survive

Use a product similar to wahls zero guard t-outliner, and outline it however u like. Most people with beard and moustache edge and line it to their liking. No one goes Around and examines the black dots. U r being over the top perfectionist. Ur photos look ok

You can always make it look intentional like a pencil thin mustache. Not ideal, but most people wouldn’t think anything of it.
