Hi all,
I am considering a hair transplant, likely FUT, not FUE. I know this is a common concern, but I was wondering if there was a general guidance on how long recovery from surgery to the point where it is "not noticeable." Specifically, wondering things like
1) Typical length of time for "redness" - I've read this can be from a couple weeks to a couple months?
2) How long the transplanted hairs hang around before shedding?
3) How long for scabs to show up and then shed?
Like a lot of people, I want to do this, but I am concerned about it being obvious to others. Those I have spoken with say that most take a week off from work. But looking at day 7 photos online, it would be incredibly obvious for most. I can probably take 2 weeks off from work if I have to, longer than that would be tough, if not impossible. I can also probably pull off a comb over to a certain degree, but it wouldn't be perfect. Also, what is typical new hair growth rate? About how long could I expect the new hair to be after 3 months? 6 months? Wondering how long I would have to "cover it up" before I could more naturally blend it?
Finally, are there any FAQs on here with questions like this? I imagine they get asked a lot.
Thanks!
