I dont have a hairsystem nor do i need one, yet...... But i was thinking today about the biggest issues with hairsystems, which I would think would be the hairline. So to solve this,would having a hair transplant to recreate your hairline and then placing the hair system behind the newly created hairline help eliminate the fake looking hairline all hair systems have, regardless of its quality? This way the hairline would look more scattered as opposed to a perfect uniform line. I dont know if anyone has ever mentioned this prior.
Is This A Viable Option To Make A Hairsystem Look More Natural?

Yeah, it has been discussed before. A decent hair system won't have a "perfect uniform" hairline anyway - they look very natural. But a thin transplanted hairline is still worth it for some people, if only psychologically, because it camouflages the front of the base - the hair is actually growing out of your head, as opposed to just looking like it does. The downside with it is that once you have had the transplant you are pretty much committed to wearing a system for always, and you are committed to having your hairline in the same place for always, so you better make sure you like wearing a system and you don't place the transplanted hairline in a position which looks implausibly youthful as you get older.

I think it's a waste of money. Lace hairlines with a good bond are undetectable at sight. (bleached knots, graduation)
Just wear the system.
I would say those people who are NW7s with thin sides and no temple points on the sides raise more suspicion to possibly wearing. As if you look closely, people bald... the pigmentation in the hair tends to get lighter.

looks like a skin hair hair system.

Yeah, Affleck certainly used to wear a piece which included his hairline. Now I think you're right: he has had a TP on his hairline and wears a piece behind. Brendan Fraser had the same set-up.
Stallone could be a skin system, or it could be the scar from a scalp reduction.
There is a guy on BTT forum that did it. He shared pictures with me, but told me to keep them to myself, which I will do.
His results look amazing!
As for the whole committed to wearing... SMP generally looks like sh*t in the hairline, so, that's the way out incase you wanna ditch the system.

What about SMP mixed into your own hair on the top and then rock the buzzed style? (I have a frontal hair transplant done and could add some more into my mid and crown area if my genetics win over).
That's my ultimate escape plan, but I'm a total noob when it comes to SMP.
Swoop,
It's probably the best solution to hairloss if you cant maintain with finasteride. SMP is great when blended with hair. Terrible when done by itself.
If you ever go down this path, get temporary SMP, it looks much more realistic. I mean really, the dots are way smaller and much better blended.
I think you cannot really make dots too small with permanent SMP, even the work of the best in the field, like Paul Brandwood and Matt Iulo look like sh*t near the average temporary SMP artist.
Also, you dont want to have to laser your head incase new treatments become available.
Look at hairlineink on youtube. Not for the smp they do, because its not that great. But their main guy, Jonathan Gerow, has exactly what you want, and i think it looks good. Look the video with the kid with areata alopecia.

Thanks for your input guys. Im just preparing for the worst. I would rather do this method than anything else out there currently. Cost isnt an issue so I dont think it would be a waste of money at all. I still have my hair and hairline, just the density on the scalp is dropping fast.
I am so vain the stress is always on my mind. I am tempted to go ahead and have my hairline reinforced/traced via hair transplant and shave everything behind it (top scalp) and put a hair system on. I probably would have to get my scalp shaved every 5 days along with putting the hairsystem back on. Meh....
