I underwent an FUE hair transplant procedure about a year ago and my experience with scarring on the donor area has been pretty positive overall. The scarring is minimal and easily hidden under my hair, so it hasn't been a major concern for me. However, it did take a few months for the scabs to fully heal and for the redness to fade completely.
In terms of cost, I paid around $5,000 for my procedure at a reputable clinic in my area. It's definitely important to do your research and choose a skilled surgeon to minimize any potential scarring issues. Overall, I'm happy with my results and the minor scarring was a small price to pay for a fuller head of hair.
