When can I get SMP after FUE hair transplant?

notmeyou
I just had my second FUE transplant.. total over 2 transplants 6 years apart is 5000 grafts.. as you can imagine my donor is now depleted but i was happy to swap donor hair for hair on top.. my FUE scars are small but I like to shave down very close back and sides.. my intension was always to get smp on the fue scars although tiny they are noticeable. my question, how long should i wait to smp my donor following my latest transplant? SMP to donor only.. thanks
