Raphael84 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 If you would like to shave down extremely short, and you are relaxed with your hair situation currently, I would ask you to reconsider. As Melvin said, scars to some degree will be evident. You are receiving thousands of tiny punches into your scalp. Depending on your skin tone and physiology will dictate how visual they may be, but they will be there none the less. Regarding the photo that you have shared showing a higher hairline. I would suggest considering your loss and limited donor, a more conservative design may be appropriate. The final placement and design will be influenced by your final objectives, and your donor density. If your physician decides only 1000 grafts can be taken from your donor area as opposed to 2500 grafts, they are two different scenarios that would require 2 different approaches. Have you consulted with any of the most respected physicians to understand what they feel may be possible?

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 15, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2019 I agree...most guys would have to buzz no lower than a number two, possibly a one depending on how well the healing is with minimal scar tissue showing.
