SMP to fill out donor area after 5000 FUE - Can this be effectively done? (photo)

Question

Had FUE grafts 5000; would like to fill them out, so as to blend in with the rest of the sides of my head. I'd also like to be able to do a skin fade again, perhaps at grade 0 to grade 2. My question is can this be effectively done, and would the SMP only work if the hair is short on the side. If the hair is longer on side would it still look covered. Please can you see my photos and advise. No generic answers please.

Many patients have SMP to cover over harvested FUE scars.  It can be done and it has been done many times.

SMP is a great option for patient to cover FUE scarring and can be done in areas where hair will be worn very short or gown in longer to add to the density.  SMP is an art and do your research to find someone experienced and understands what your needs are.  Good Luck!
