Hair transplant to cover FUE white dot scars? Is it possible?

Question

Hi i think the pattern of the FUE taken from the back of my head is too low, which is make impossible to fade my haircut like before. Do you think in one year it would be possible to cover the white dots with few grafts taken from upper back head ? Thanks

If you have a hair transplant to cover FUE scars you will still have scars from where you take the hair.  Scalp MicroPigmentation may be an option.

Hi, Hair transplantationto cover up the scar issues in donor area is done. and it can give good results. A simpler alterative is Scalp Micro Pigmentation. It just colors the white dots and also provides an appearance of increased density also

The only way to address this is with scalp micropigmentation which is essentially a cosmetic tattoo that will blend the scars with the surrounding hairs

The hair needs to be harvested from the donor zone. You can take it from the donor zone and transplant it where it is needed. However you will end up getting white dots again in the new harvested area.
