You're the first to give me a positive feedback about FUT !! Thanks, i was getting really scared as FUE is absolutly out of question. @ MrMatt "You just need to start wearing your hair short before the surgery , such that change in appearance post surgery is less noticeable" . => i can't, i'm hiding my baldness keeping them long enough. If i cut them short, everybody will notice the "missing pieces", and then one month later (hair still short), the holes would have disapeared ! Everybody would notice i had surgery. @ jimmygea : if you don't mind, i would like to keep in touch with you to learn from your experience as you're having that operation in June. Would that be ok for you ? Maybe we could exchange our mails ? Thank you.

Thank you for your advices. I'm going to contact the surgeon to ask him more details about the facts you raised. By the way, i'm going to see Dr Karim Yacoub in Tunis.

Thank you for your answers. I'll definitly avoid the FUE technic, i don't want my collegues for exemple notice that transplant. To avoid mockery mainly. I'm planning to do that operation in Tunisia just after summer (for cost reasons), i'll take my yearly month vacation to do so. That'll leave around four weeks for the redness to go away ! :-) @jimmygea : i hope to hear from your experience in June...

Hello to everyone. I would like to get advices from members who got a "FUT" hair transplant. In a few months i'll get this type of operation. My hairloss is not very wide (mainly the lobes and a bit on the vertex) and i manage to hide it keeping an adapted hair lenght . The surgeon plans to implant from 1200 to 1500 grafts. I only talked about this to some of my close relatives and i don't want anyone else to notice this operation. I did not go the FUE way for that reason, you need to be partially shaved and then all confidentiality is gone. I would like some advice; in order to keep this unnoticed, should i for exemple keep my hair quite long before the transplant (in order to hide post-op crusts and the back scarf) ? Any other idea ? Another question; as the surgeon withdraws a one cm band on the back of the head, does it lead to the hair front line going back from that same one cm ? Thank you for reading
