Current hairstyle & Future hair transplant
I'm curious if anyone can tell me if my current hair style would be ok if I had a hair transplant. It's cropped at 1 but further down. Where exactly would the scar be on my head? If it's in the mid-area, maybe I can keep the style?

Grow it out a bit longer on the back and sides, it'll look better.

I just cut it short recently after trying it longer. Didn't really like it as much. I guess I'll have a look at scar photos and show my hairdresser, see if he thinks he could work around it somehow...

It depends on which technique is used. With Strip, you will need to grow your hair longer. With FIT/FUE, you don't need to grow your hair longer. It also depends on how your body heals, i.e., do you get raised scars, do your scars fade easily, etc.

Thanks but yeah I'm aware of the different techniques. It's more about the actual positioning of the FUT scar that I'm curious about. I'm hoping I can still keep my style.

Why are you getting FUT and not FUE!?!?

Damn, how much out of your price range? I know we hate each other and everything, but you're a valued member of this forum.
Put up a fund and I'll throw some dollars into it. I'd rather see you get FUE than the scarring from FUT.

 that's made me laugh, I appreciate the thought!
Basically my credit is good so I can get finance for £7000-8000 which is the cost of FUT. FUE would be double that. I think with a good surgeon my scarring shouldn't be too bad, and I have the optiion of FUE or SMP into the scar.

Why not wait until aderans and histogen proves what they can do before you get a hair transplant? It's not that far off.
