Will removing transplanted hairs from my temples leave visible scars?

KenTraveler
I had some hairs transplanted to my temples, but they made the hairline too low, and I do not like the shape. Another doctor recommended moving the hairs further back. Would this not leave visible white dot scarring on my forehead?
