FUE is just a harvesting method.  It does not relate to results.  If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE.Discuss your goals and expectations with your doctor and have a long term plan.  Even with STRIP or FUE method you will need more than one surgery to achieve your goal...

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.

Smoking is not generally recommended after surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to check with your doctor or quit smoking.Nicotine itself is not the issue.

Donor hair can be harvested from almost any part of the body but it does not mean it will look natural.  Leg hair is not typically a good source for donor hair.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

The honest answer is that if you want a “full” head of hair with density that is very unrealistic.Donor supply and future hair loss have to be factored in,and you are only 26.SMP might be a good alternative.
