Question: I'm interested in moustache and beard transplants, but concerned about the scars and wondering how bad they are.

Answer: I have performed a number of facial transplants and can tell you that you need not worry about scarring. By transplanting follicular unit grafts, the cheek, chin and temple skin will grow hairs without noticeable bumps. This hair can be trimmed and even shaved. The only scar that results is the one on the donor area on the back of the head, and this is a single fine-line scar that is imperceptible even with a haircut using a number 2 razor.
