Can I close shave 12 months after beard FUE or will I have permanent bumps/small scars on my face?

mrf123
I want to get beard FUE. A doc who specializes in FUE recommended ~2,000 grafts for full coverage. Most FUE patients seem to keep their beard longish, so scarring concerns aren't as relevant. Those that address scarring say there IS minor scarring and being close shaved isn't a good look now. I want to keep my beard hair at a 5 o'clock shadow to a couple days' growth, and to clean shave sometimes. Is this possible, or will my face always have a bit of bumpyness / scarring?
