how close can you buzz the bottom or back of your head after having a hair transplant and allowed it to fully cured /matured (for lack of a better words) i.e. 12 months later, either fue or strip scars, or is this not a option at all anymore?

 

If anyone has buzzed it what level of clipper and can they post up some pics?

my FUT scar is pretty minimal, some nice work by Dr Mohebi.. I have buzzed it after transplant procedure, I think at a level 2 or 3 and nobody said anything.. my hair grows pretty fast though.. and I work from home so I don't have alot of people passing by behind me when I am sitting down, working.. why not get it done by a stylist the first time or two and have a professional's opinion? there are some great men-only hair stylists out there.. in Southern California we have a place called 18 and 8 and the stylists often deal with mpb or HT-procedure'd guys.

Paulygon is a former patient of Dr. Parsa Mohebi

 

My regimen includes:

HT #1 2710 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in 2012

Rogaine foam 2x daily, since 2012 (stopped ~10/2015)

Finasteride 1.25mg daily, since 2012 (stopped ~12/2015)

 

HT #2 3238 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in Jun. 2016

Started Rogaine and Propecia in July. 2016 after being off of them for about a year.

The general consensus is a grade 1 or 2(usually is large amounts of grafts are extracted) with fue and a grade 3 or 4 with strip. Some strip patients can get away with a grade 2 but these arenot in the majority of patients. No gaurantees though, a strip scar may stretch regarless of the surgeon and donor closure and your donor may look thinner after FUE if large amounts are taken/the extraction paterns are not clever/big punch is used.
