Hi guys, as id like to keep my hair 3 mm length i heard SMP would not give a natural effect in this case. As hair specialists do you guys know others technics to hide thin spot left by bad fue on donor area ? Thanks.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  In general, shaving has no impact on SMP just as it would have no impact on tattoos.

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

I would give it 6 months. 4 months might be ok if your body heals fast. SMP is great camouflage for any scar, if done right, scar won't be detectable.
