    hivee,

    When you say trim down to zero, are you talking about completely shaving down to skin with a razor? And if so, not sure why you would want to do that considering you had had a HT to grow the hair? Or do you mean buzz down to a number one guide?

    You went to an oustanding surgeon so I doubt that you would have much if any noticable scarring and you id not have a real large session. I trust you are completely healed by now if it's been three months. If you heal normally, you should be fine.

    Did you present this question to Dr. Epstein?

    no i ment trim it really really short , not with a razor tho.
    i got a Facial HT filled my beard with extra hair so the transplant isnt on my head

    and yes Dr J.Epstein and his staff did an amazing job am just worried that it will be obvious if i cut it really short

    It's a pleasure to help clarify my experience with this issue- scarring after FUE procedures. I am answering this question on this site both because I do not recall seeing this specific question in my email over the past few weeks, and because it is a valuable topic to discuss.
    With just 1400 or so FUE grafts harvested, using a 0.8 mm punch, there should essentially be no detectable scarring, even with the head fully shaved. Occasionally with very close observation, there can be some very tiny hypopigmented (lighter in color) dots.
    Let me know how this works out for you-
