Transplant Hair to Scar on My Cheek?
Dear Dr.,
I have a scar on my cheek that I have from when I was a little boy. I’ve had 2 scar revisions but the scar always spreads and I’m left with a pretty noticable scar where no hair grows.
Would it be possible to somehow fill in that area with hair from maybe my lower neck?
Scalp hair transplanted to the beard area (cheek) is a relatively common procedure. Some men who can’t grow facial hair have these type of procedures to fill in a beard, and likewise it can also be used to cover a scar. Lower neck hair would not be the best place to harvest donor hair, since neck hair is not considered permanent hair.
