Hi TNJed,
Your beard is coming along well. There is no doubt you'll be able to sport a great looking beard. In regards to the spot on the left side, just wait to see how everything fills in - give yourself 2-3 months. At that point, if you're still not happy with that area, you can always carve the cheeks a bit and go with a carved full beard. Good luck.

You either live life -- bruises, skinned knees and all -- or you turn your back on it and begin dying - Christopher Pike paraphrasing Dr. Philip Boyce (Star Trek - "The Cage")
