Which works best for donor scar revision: Beard FUE or SMP?: Carlos K. Wesley, MD (NYC/LA)

Media Mgr Dr. Carlos K. Wesley
Patients often ask about effective ways to conceal any donor scar after follicular unit transplantation (FUT ) Two popular options are follicular unit extraction (FUE) from either donor scalp, beard, or chest or skin micropigmentation (SMP). Here are a couple examples of both for you to decide for yourself.

Nice post. I`d prefer to have grafts placed in the scar as my first option unless the scar was very wide and i had the option of a revision.
So, I would go revision first, then fue, then smp.
Incidently, I`ve actually gone this route.

Is it case dependent or does Dr Wesley's have a preferred route?

Does Dr Wesley offer SMP too then Billena?
Does Beard hair look as good as scalp hair when placed into a scar when buzzed very short or does it stand out a little more due to it's slight difference in characteristics?

Great post by the way :)

My revision worked well. If my hair is cut to a number 2 guard I can see where the scars were but can`t really see the scars. You have to see it in person to really see as photos don`t capture it.
