Will Patchy Cheeks Fill in?

Grow it Out
And speaking of growth: Sometimes a patchy beard will fill itself in if you simply let the hairs grow longer. This might mean growing a disproportionate beard in some spots, as you maintain the length of your mustache but let the cheeks grow in more.

How long does it take for patchy beard to fill in?

If you can't wait that long, try growing your beard out for at least 2/3 months. Most people see poor growth after a week and give up. But even in just a few months, you will notice a big change to your facial hair. Gaps that were once there could start to fill in.

Do patchy beards fill in with age?

Sure, it may fill in as you age, but that's as much a part of your genetics as the fact that you're patchy to begin with. While you can make a patchy beard look more full, the first thing you've got to do is embrace the beard you've got. You won't make it fuller by wishing for new hairs.
