I don't want to add any big scars. I had a hair transplant. The corners are appropriately recessed but the center 3rd of my hair would look more natural if it were higher. Especially if my hair thins further. I have very elastic skin and can push it higher easily over a cm by using my finger and lifting my hairline.
