The only person I told was my girlfriend. I kept it hidden from family and friends(housemates) and work and therefore had to spin a massive web of different lies to different people but I think I will just mange to get away with it I was lucky to have some existing hair throughout the recipient area so it wasn't so obvious.
family - I was going away for a work trip & managed to delay seeing them just long enough for it not to be so noticeable.
work & friends - I was going for a holiday to visit my sister, cracked my head open while sightseeing (only part of the scar was visible as I had longish hair), and doctors had to shave part of my head because of swelling (recipient area). - I only managed 3 weeks off work!
Once the grafts started to fall out the existing hair I had on the recipient area that was shaved at surgery had grown back just long enough for me to be able to start using Caboki to make it look similar density.
lying caused me so much stress that I think it would of been easier just to tell people. I think if you plan what you are going to say & run them through it step by step, you might find you are pleasantly surprised by peoples reactions. I thought my girlfriend would laugh at me but she was proud that I was doing it and revealed that she wants to get a nose job because she's self conscious too.
