Make your face slim and narrow by growing stubble on your cheeks to provide a shading effect. Keep the hair as short as possible while still rendering it visible. Otherwise, the facial hair will appear to expand your cheeks.

Hide scars by growing the surrounding facial hair to a length sufficient to cover the scar. The scar will not be able to grow hair, and therefore may be accentuated if the surrounding facial hair isn't long enough to cover it.

Tips & Warnings
Always use shaving cream for areas on your face that require a clean shave and be sure to use aftershave once you're finished grooming to prevent shaving irritation.
Shave your facial hair immediately after showering or bathing. This will minimize the chances of irritation.
Don't groom your facial hair without a mirror.
Don't attempt to cut your hair to the perfect length on the first attempt. It is far easier to cut additional lengths of facial hair than wait for your facial hair to grow back.
