I think the scar grafting will definitely help.

The most difficult thing to conceal is a change of direction. This happens when the top of the strip wound and the bottom edge of the wound are brought together. Sometimes the angles of the hair don't match up very well. Sometimes the hairs below the scar end up sticking straight out or to the side. Here's an example. This patient had a good scar grafting result, but the change of direction still exists. You can see it real well in the shaven pic.

Luckily, you are more like this patient, where there are not major changes in the direction of hair growth. Only, your scar is not quite that bad.

I hope these examples help to give you an idea of what to expect.
