Question:
My face looks funny when I have a beard because I have a large scar that won’t allow the hair to grow in one spot. Will hair grow over my scar after I get a scar revision procedure?
Answer:
The injury to your face which led to your facial scar must have taken an area of hair bearing skin that healed with scar tissue that cannot grow hair. If this strip of scar tissue is surgically removed from your face, and the skin of your face (where there are normal beard hair follicles) is repaired, then your beard should grow in normally.
