Hi John
Thanks for the excellent write up and blog link. It looks like nice, clean work so it'll be great seeing how it all comes along!
Yours is an interesting case for me as you seemed to be in a similar situation re:frontal recession as i am, and if/when I decide to get a transplant I had between 1000-1500 grafts in mind to touch up the hairline.
As with you I would be very keen to keep my hair long on top for the procedure, but I've always been curious how long the shaved donor area would take to properly 'blend back in' to the hair on top, and also how easy it is to disguise the recipient by styling the existing hair. So it'd would be really good to see updates of these initial weeks after the procedure.
