Shaving Donor Area for FUE

Hi, I am scheduled for a minor FUE procedure to fill in a scar on my scalp, (non-transplant). My hair is very long, and I found out that the back of my head would have to be shaved. My question is, how much of the back of my head will be shaven if the procedure only requires 100 grafts? Would I be able to hide this shaven area will the rest of my hair while it’s still short like that? And also, about how long would my hair take to grow to a normal lenghth again? How many inches does hair grow in a year? And for my final question, to bypass this whole shaving back of head thing, would it be possible to retrieve these hair from another part of my body since there is such a little amount to be extracted?
Thank-you so much

These questions should have been addressed between you and your doctor. If not, you should call him or her and ask these questions. I think that the actual answer can be seen by looking at the creative way we extracted grafts with FUE. Generally, for a 100 graft FUE procedure, your hair would not require extensive shaving and what shaving was done should not be detectable (the photos below show how well the FUE shaved sites are covered when the hair is left long).

Normally your hair grows at 1/2 inch a month (so 6 inches a year) on average.

There are doctors who do body hair transplants on the scalp. However, these are not proven or widely accepted techniques. More importantly, body hair has a short growth phase and long sleep phase which makes it a poor transplant source.
