How Short Haircut with FUE

[Patienthair01]

With FUE the donor harvesting leaves the lower areas as well as the frontal area on the sides untouched. Doesn't this look odd in the future when cutting the hair short as the donor in the middle part will be thinner and then lower part will be more dense. How short can your hair be cut without it looking odd? I attached an image of where hair is harvested from  as youi can see the lower portion is not harvested so it would remain thicker. I would assume if someone cuts their hair to a size 1-3 it would be easily noticeable. Looking for advice.

Even with a 10/10 FUE transplant, a buzz cut will reveal FUE scarring. That being said, if you went to a good place (or even a mediocre one) I really doubt most observers would notice the scarring unless they were specifically looking for it. Of course there are exceptions. 

Don't go through the cost and agony of a hair transplant if its likely you're just going to ultimately buzz it in the end lol.

I am not concerned about the scarring but the un-evenness. If the lower part of the donor is not extracted and the middle area is if i was to get my hair cut to 3 guard wouldn't it be obvious that the middle area in the back of my donor is a lot thinner and then there is an odd thicker band near the lower part where nothing was extracted? Or is this not true?

It depends on the extraction pattern and the number of grafts, and of course your donor density.

I have my sides shaved between either a 1 or 2 and the donor area isn’t noticeable. It all depends on how you heal as an individual. The Dr I had my FUE with recommended a number 4 to ensure proper coverage of the donor area.
