Can FUE Leave Visible Scars?

[deeprock2]

I want an FUE transplant, but I’m worried about scarring. I see people say that FUE is scarless, but is that actually true?

FUE leaves tiny dot scars, but they’re way less noticeable than FUT scars. If you shave your head super short, they might be visible.

Do some surgeons leave better scars than others?

Yes! If a surgeon overharvests, the donor area thins out and scars look worse. A good surgeon spreads extractions evenly.

Also, smaller punch sizes (like 0.8mm) reduce scarring. Some surgeons still use bigger punches that leave more noticeable dots.
