FUE vs SMP for scar reduction
I'd like to ask the knowledgeable brothers out there what they would recommend as the best technique for scar repair in my situation.
I've already reduced the visibility of my strip scar quite significantly with 3 FUE into scar sessions with Dr. Robert Jones (see albums in my profile). However the returns after the two later sessions in terms of additional improvement were quite diminishing, I'd say 50-20-5.
It's been close to three years since my last procedure, and I'm contemplating whether to go or a fourth FUE session, or whether to try scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) into the scar.
Grateful for anyone's thoughts on which direction I should take.

scar repair
Hi Dr. Glenn. I would like to shave my hair down as far as possible - to a zero if possible...

I am not sure if that is a very realistic expectation. I have never seen a patient who had FUE procedures into previous strip strips scars that could shave down to a zero without being able to visualize the scar.

That's a fair assessment for sure. I guess I just have wishful thinking. How about getting her down to a one?

(Almost 2 years later) Would it be possible getting buzzed done to a "one" without the scar showing?
