The FUE is not scarless as it will produce some small, punctated scars. If the surgeon uses a small punch instrument, the scars will be small, but with a razor shaved head, the scars will show. We have performed SMP for patients with FUE or strip scars. Many of these people can now shave their head. I try to tell my patients that hair transplants don’t usually give back your original density, so a longer hairstyle works better than a shorter hairstyle since it will not reveal the lower density.
