I had FUT 2 years ago to reduce a high hairline, unhappy with results and want to increase density. Should I go for FUT/FUE?

Two doctors in Belgium suggested the patchy shaven FUE technique, with 1500 grafts. A UK doctor recommended FUT but said he would need to make a separate incision. He also suggested for me to shave the recipient area (not ideal) if I wanted 1500 grafts, otherwise he could only do 1000. A doctor in Minneapolis suggested 1500 grafts FUT which would not require a separate incision (online consultation however). My dilemma is which technique to go for as there is conflicting responses from doctors?
