Can you have a FUE/partial shaven FUE to the crown?

August 17, 2019
Asked By:Blake777 in Houston, TX

I have very curly long(er) hair (about 7 inches long). Is it possible to have an unshaven or partially shaven FUE to the crown? Does the recipient site have to be shaved completely? How long until one can safely use a concealer such as TOPIK post surgery? Finally, is it realistic to have such a procedure for 2000 grafts?

Answer: FUE is a harvesting method where the donor area hairs need to be shaved, but the recipient area does not need to be shaved.
