This is a really good question. I recently had a HT with Dr. Keene in Arizona, three weeks to the day. I am a norwood 2, maybe 3, not too good at the Nowood scale. I had 1050 graphs in the frontal one third of my head to fill in the hairline and add density behind. I also work in an office and took two weeks off. My recipient area is still a little pink and I had shockloss which didn't help. Most people don't notice and if they do I say I have psoriasis of the scalp
(I know i'm basically lying but sometimes it has to be done). I chose Dr. Keene first for her great results and reputation and second because she doesn't shave the head. There are many great coalition Doctors that don't require a shave so I would focus on those. I ususally keep my hair fairly short on the back and sides but I grew them out to hide my donor scar. Hope this helps!
