Is it possible to do a hair transplant over scar from nevus sebaceous removal on scalp? What is the approximate cost? (Photos)

Years ago I had nevus sebaceous removal, to be to remove the mark and give me less of a bald spot...well it's completely smooth-feeling now and almost flat to the scalp, but I have a bigger bald area. It's very close to my hair line and it shows easily and makes me really self conscious. I've been told I could try the same method of cutting out skin and stitching it closed again but since that made the bald area bigger last time I'm scared. Could I possibly do hair transplant through the scar?
