Hi there, I have had over the past 10 years 2 x FUT and 2 x FUE approximately 11,000 grafts total. I stupidly had FUE after the FUT where I already had a scar which I now regret. I'd like the scar to be hidden and if I get a few more grafts to thicken the top then great a last and final FUT. Do you think this is possible or is SMP now the safest way to conceal the scar? From the UK but happy to travel anywhere if anyone can think of a good game-plan! Thanks
