Sorry I didn't come out clearer. I didn't have any grafts punched out. Mine were the correct size from the start. It's just that they are still pink after all these years.

Would that be considered FUE to remove those, being so small? I guess I'm not familiar with the details between "punch out" and FUE when its concerning very small grafts.
And I ask because (I think) FUE is how some of my larger ones will be partially reduced in hair count.
If there is a difference btwn FUE and punch-out of small grafts at the hairline, I wonder how the healing differs? for example, flatness or the redness you were inquiring about?

I believe it was different in my case because they planned on putting more, appropriate sized grafts in front of the old larger ones. They were thinking "camouflage". Also, my donor supply is soo limited, I think they were hesitant to remove anything thats growing.

Yes, I guess it FUE since they are only taking the two hair grafts out of my hairline..
