I am contemplating getting hair replacement, but am concerned by the FUT scar (FUE is very expensive in my area). Currently, I have a "size-3" length haircut on the sides, and hand cut on the top. Is this long enough, or would I need it to be longer to hide the scar? (I hope not!)
Answer: Covering An FUT The length of your hair varies on the type of hair you have. Most of the time #3 guard with the clippers is fine. Some patients with thicker shafts of hair can go as short as #2 guard.

Answer: You can usually cover a FUT scar with a #3 guard You can usually cover a FUT scar with a #3 guard (sometimes a #2). You can usually cover a FUE scar with a #1 guard (sometimes a #0). Both FUT and FUE will leave a scar.

Answer: Hair Length After FUT Surgery
In my opinion, a #3 guard length will not adequately cover your linear scar. To be satisfied with this method of surgery, I would advise you to try a longer hairstyle. A longer hairstyle will be especially helpful in the long run, as these scars can stretch and widen over time.

Answer: Hair Transplant scar vs FUE like Neograft or Artas robot hair transplant
This varies a lot from doctor to doctor and patient to patient. Even with a good doctor a scar can be very visible or a bad doctor can get a good scar. You may also want to look into other options that are less visible. These options include the Neograft FUE approach and the Artas robot hair transplant which are more available now.

Answer: Hair Transplant and Scar Visibility
Unfortunately there is a great deal of variation in the scar after a hair transplant. I have some patients whose hair is only half that length and the scar is not visible. In others it may take a little more length to cover the scar.
