How noticeable are FUE scars when raising a hairline?

godspeed50
If one wanted to slightly raise a transplanted hairline, how noticable are is the scarring? I am caucasian with olive skin and dark hair. Is it best to do a few test grafts first? My guess would be 200 grafts to fue out to slightly raise the center 1/3 of the hairline. Maybe slightly more. That seems like it could be quite traumatic to the tissue? What is your experience in the satisfaction of patients who go through this? Thank you!
