    Hair Transplant Question (Scar)

    Hey everyone, Im seriously considering getting a FUE transplant to cover two small scars on my head. I spoke to the doctor and he told me it would require 40 grafts to fill in the two scars. Now my question is, I sometimes have my hair medium length but on occassion I shave my head as well. If I shave my head would the 40 fue grafts be noticeable?

    I would like to know that way I'm sure it's worth going through with the FUE transplant.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

      FUE results can vary from doctor-to-doctor. You want to see some FUE into scars examples from the surgeon that you have selected. That's the surgeon performing the procedure so you definitely want to see "their work".

      Potentially, FUE into scars have a wide range of results from hideous to a fairly good camouflage when the hair is cut that short.

          Can you post some pictures? Are the two scars you are referring to, strip scars? Since you are shaving your head and exposing these two scars, IMO the appearance of the scars can only improve after quality FUE work. You specifically asked if the 40 FUE grafts would be noticeable. I believe that you should be able to dramatically improve the appearance of these scars, but it's doubtful all traces will completely disappear.
