In an FUE hair transplant, can you take the donor hair from the sides of the head?

I want to get a hair transplant but don't want the donor hair to be from the back of my head because it is too coarse to be at the front of my hairline. I also don't want to get an irregular trychophytic because I want my hairline to be a specific shape. I've seen that some doctors take donor hair from the NPA so I was wondering about the sides of the head where my texture isn't so coarse
