Hey okay so I'm going to have to disagree with you about FUE yielding the same as FUT. I agree that Couto is literally the HT GOD but the waiting list is crazy. I am on it now so once that opens up I will most definitely be getting an FUE with him on top of an initial FUT. Having said that, even on his website literally called FUEexpert, he states that for the most advanced cases and to attain the most amount of grafts then FUT will be used, but only for those situations. Since I am most definitely trying to maximize my grafts, it seems like a no brainer for me. Yield rates are consistently higher time and time again for FUT save for Erdogan and Couto so of course you will be fine either way. In terms of hairs growing weird around the scar for FUT, if you go to an amazing doc the scar will be pencil thin and hairs will grow normal. FUE has been cited to cause far more trauma to the scalp and thus far more chance of damage to adjacent follicles. That is not to say FUE cannot yield good results, but for total graft maximization, FUT is the way to go hands down. Emailed you
