What is the Minimal Hair Cut "Buzz" Size Needed to Cover a FUT Hair Transplant Scar?

June 11, 2012
Asked By:JHandley

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!)
