Question: Most of my facial hair is either directly on my chin or just under it, and really I've never had full facial hair and I have no sideburn growth. Any hair growth that I have above my lip/moustache region does not go down to my lip and has gaps. Even if I did grow a chin beard, there would be no growth to connect the chin and moustache areas. The hair on my head is full and healthy, in fact it grows very quickly and I have to get it cut every 14 to 18 days. I would like to grow a moustache, goatee, possibly sideburns, and ultimately a full beard though I'm not sure I'll ever be able to. I'm wondering if I can expect thick growth in the facial area and how long I'd have to allow the little facial hair that I do have to grow before the procedure.

Answer: Nice, thick growth in the facial hair is very realistic with good donor hair. To allow me to see where you need hair, I would suggest that you let the facial hair grow for 4 to 5 days before surgery, even a week, given your slower growth rate, if you think that would be possible.
