Is it possible to get a FUE hair transplant without shaving my head?

pvlife
On Finasteride, hairline has stopped receding. Also, let's say I don't like how it looks after a year and I wish to shave it or switch to a hair system. Would the scars be very noticeable? I am taking Fin daily, minoxidil 5-7x/week, and dermarolling with 1.5mm every 1-2 weeks. I am planning on going to Turkey for a FUE, but I don't want to shave my head completely unless there is no way around it.
