FUT / FUE recipient area scars

[follically challenged]

The slits the surgeon creates to hold the grafts... Do they create permanent scars on the recipient zone? Are they a thing..?

Just wondering how noticeable they are if you shaved down to a zero, or if they even exist at all...?

Thanks

That depends on the skills of the surgeon. Some will be perfect, but a bad surgeon could leave pits and scars in the area.

Interesting. So, is it safe to say that if you go to a renowned, ethical surgeon, pits and scars will not be visible when if ever need to shave the head..?

Good surgeons use the right instruments to create the recipient incisions along with the appropriate types or choices of incisions used...as a result, the scarring is very minimal and hardly noticeable to the naked eye....knowing the right depth of the incisions is also critical because pitting is oftentimes the result of incisions made too deep or too large...using needles to create the sites that are too large can also cause pitting.
