Question regarding FUE vs FUT long term

[msu87]

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I've been doing a ton of research about HTs lately and have some questions.

I'm a 27 year old NW3. I've been losing my hair slowly since I've been about 18. It's just now getting to the point of annoying me.

My question is:

Should I opt for a FUE transplant now with about 2,000 grafts in the front? I'll still continue to lose some hair over time so I know I'll need another procedure at some point.

Or should I opt for an FUT transplant to fill in the front with 2,000 grafts? What is the best option long term? Best option for multiple sessions over the course of years?

Also, I'm a little concerned about shaving my head for the FUE. Will the new hair grafts be visible after 1-2 weeks post op? Even if they're short it'd be nice to have something there rather than just receding hairline.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
