Best haircuts to hide plugs

[rockhead]

I had about 200 transplants done 25 years ago on the front crown area. Over the years, the hair around the plugs has dissipated to where I have very typical MPB from the front of the forehead to the rear of the crown (except for where the 200 plugs were placed)

I've decided at my age and status, hair is not that important, but "hiding" the plugs is.

I thought about shaving my head, but thought the plugs would still show (plus my wife says I have an ugly dome). I've considered a "crew-cut or buzz, but figure that the plugs will still be very evident.

Has anyone else had any success with a very short cut and are the plugs more or less visible.

Thanks in advance

Have you considered FUE repair? You could have some plugs spread out on the dome for a thin but natural result, allowing you to buzz.

I have read of some HT patients having old "plugs" removed. Would that help you or hurt you?

From what I've read, pulling the old plugs presents another issue- scarring- that "cobblestone" appearance. I guess that can be helped via dermabrasion.

Given the economy, spending another $1000 on FUE is not an option at this point. So what I'm looking for is if a buzz cut will just make the plugs look all the more noticable? Or, if anyone has gotton a buzz and then shaved the area where the plugs are.

Anyone tried it?
