Senior Member Hair4Days Posted April 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2021 So i know with any type of surgery, scarring is unavoidable. For anyone who has gotten FUE, do you honestly believe you always have that insurance policy of shaving your head or do you think you give that option up when you opt for a hair transplant in general?

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted April 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2021 I will never shave my head due to my FUT scars, but I cannot detect any of the FUE scars I got with Dr. Konior. My light skin might have something to do with that. My pigmentation pretty much matches the color of my scars. I cut the sides and back pretty short, but certainly not shaved.

How low can you go in the donor regions before the FUT starts to become noticeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dr. Neil Verma Posted April 23, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) See pic for FUE minimal scarring (hypopigmentation) on a fully shaved scalp. This patient is undergoing a second procedure for crown repair. His first FUE was 1 year ago so has fully healed. With excellent technique FUT scars are minimal as well just linear instead of dots.

I don't know for sure since I don't use clippers, but it's probably around a 4 guard.
