    Default FUE + SMP combo for recipient area

    I'm sure everyone has seen Spex's great SMP results into his strip scar. From the pics and from what I've heard, the results look great and very realistic. From the pics it appears the dots almost look 3D and resemble stubble, but i'd love to see them in person to make my own judgement.

    I was wondering the following. If someone was happy with a military style haircut (e.g. #1 or #2 grade ALL OVER), would a combo of FUE and SMP work to create the illusion of high density in the recipient area ? I understand if someone had SMP all over it may not look realistic. Not to mention if someone rubs their hands through your hair, they won't feel any stubble which will be a straight give away. But if someone was to add some reasonable density all over with FUE and have a dense hairline constructed with FUE, could SMP be added to achieve high density all over the recipient area ? e.g. to pre MPB density - 100 grafts/cm^2 ? I would prefer to have an FUE procedure to produce a high density hairline, as opposed to increasing hairline density with SMP, but if SMP looks realistic...what the heck.

    I guess this would be difficult for people who have extensive loss and achieving a reasonable density with FUE surgery will be difficult and costly. But i wonder if this could work for people like me, who don't have extensive loss (yet). The only problem i have is that i'm not sure if i can get away with a #1 grade at the back because of my white dots (i've had previous FUE surgery). I have brown skin, so the white dots are very visible.

    Thanks guys, look forward to the replies. Shout out to Spex too !!
