Two weeks is plenty of time to hide the hair transplant, IMHO. I also wanted to hide the transplant so I also took 2 weeks off work. I am now at 1 week post op and I already have very minor signs of the surgery. I am sure in another week no one will be able to tell anything, especially if I shave my new beard lol. If I were you, I would go into work one-week pre-op with a buzz cut, then after that week is over, you immediately get the surgery and take two weeks off work. Before you arrive to work again 2 weeks post op, get the same buzz-cut again, that way the newly implanted grafts will be the same length as the rest of the hair and there will be no signs of the surgery. In addition, people wont think anything of your hair because you had the same hair cut the last time they saw you. This is all assuming you are doing FUE obviously. How many grafts are you planning on doing?

Sorry about the pic being upside down**

I have always had a 'baby face' and it was really beginning to bug me. I began to really look into it and I realized that men with facial hair never have 'baby faces.' SO, I decided I would become a man with facial hair ... One week ago, I decided to get a discrete facial hair transplant (only my brother knows about this). I decided to go with Dr. Diep because of his impressive facial hair transplant results and minimal scarring (from what I could see in his photos and youtube videos). So far, I am very pleased with the results, at first I was confused as to why the team did not put the grafts in a perfectly straight fashion, but NOW I realize that a perfectly straight beard would look very fake and artificial. So now I am glad they purposely went a little out of line. That way I can shave it to look straight. Dr. Diep and his staff were EXCELLENT! I am so glad I picked this clinic and I think he should be a lot more recognized for his work. This doctor actually cares about YOU not just your money. He went way above and beyond what I had expected. Here are the list of things that he did that absolutely surprised me: 1.) We scheduled 2000 grafts but he accidentally took out 2100. So, he put those extra 100 in for FREE. 2.) Gave me A-cell growth hormone ($500) for FREE. 3.) When I suggested that I wanted to go home after surgery and not do a follow up, he refused and payed for 3 days at a nearby hotel so that I could stay there for FREE and come in to the clinic everyday for hair cleaning and check up. 4.) He gave me his personal phone number to contact him in the future if I had any concerns about my hair transplant. This man ACTUALLY cares about your well being and results. I am sure that I will want another transplant sometime in the future to fill in the rest of the beard, and you can sure as hell bet that I will come back to this clinic. I attached a picture of my beard one week post op. I am very happy so far. We wil have to wait a year now to see the final results.
