Cutting hair short post transplant

[kd300]

Hi, i am 2 months post FUE (5000 grafts) transplant and i am thinking why people worry about FUEs being better than FUTs in terms of scaring because as i see my head right now, its not about what kind of scars my FUE made on the back of my head. Even if those small FUE holes are not visible, im still not able to short cut my hair because the contrast in density between my donor and the area around it is very clear. Anyone can figure out by just looking from a few meters away that something unusual has happened there. And my point is this is not even about the holes. The fact that hair is plucked out of my donor only and not the surroundings, makes is clearly look patchy (in a short haircut) compared to the parts around it defined by a very clear outline. So in this way FUE is no better than a FUT is it? Or is there something wrong with my donor site?

Hi. Thank you for sharing. I had a much smaller procedure. Only 1200 grafts and I can notice the box like outline in my donor site when I shave my head to a 1 or a 1.5 guard. Maybe other people don't notice it as much, but I sure do. It is very frustrating. The clinic never mentioned this to me at all as a potential side effect. I wonder if there is any way to fix this problem in my future?
