I see bald people...

[scarremorse]

Seriously, every day. Walking around I always check out bald people, specifically those who are bald by choice - whether its buzzed or shaved or whatever, I always find myself paying extra close attention to their head.

(This is because I had an FUT about 9 years ago and now I have a noticeable scar. I bit the bullet and shaved it last year and LOVED it looking at myself straight on in the mirror, finally felt some relief, but then looked at the back of my head and realized I just couldn't keep it, scar too visible. I even got SMP into the scar which did help somewhat, but it was still very noticeable so I grew it back out... I am exploring some scar revision options now, FUE into scar, etc. Not giving up yet.)

Anyway, ever notice that everybody has a natural crease in the back of their head. In many people its visible just standing still. For everybody its more pronounced when they look up. But what I've noticed is that the natural crease is noticeable for a majority of people with shaved heads or buzz cuts. Some more than others, but I look for that every time now.

My question: has anybody had an FUT where the doc deliberately cut directly along that natural crease? I couldn't seem to find any topics on this searching on these forums or elsewhere online. To me, that seems like a much better choice to hide a scar rather than having an arbitrary smiley face across the back of your head. Plus it would go a long way to helping conceal the scar should people want to keep their hair short down the line.

One of the big selling points of FUE is the lack of linear scar should you choose to eventually wear your hair short. To me, a little more strategic placement of the FUT scar would accomplish the same thing and be an equally effective selling point, no?

Wondering if anybody has considered or has experience with and FUT where the scar follows the natural crease in the back of your head. Or if there are discussions about this about why its a good/bad idea.

Thanks in advance--
