Brief Answer:
Healing occurs with scar tissue.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Healing occurs by scar tissue which is fibrous tissue. This is both structurally and functionally different from the original tissue that had been there. Hence the looks are unlikely to be the same. Plastic surgery is indeed a way out. However, laser therapy might also help.
No hair (beard) is likely to grow over the area. However, hair transplant (from appropriate area) can be done if you want normal hair growth over that area.
Feel free to write back.
Regards
