Very soon I'll be having a hair transplant with a reputable surgeon. I'll be having over 3000 grafts done FUE over two days and I'm about a Norwood 5-6 with slightly pale skin. I'm able to take 14 days total off work (about 12 days post procedure).
I'm noticing online that's it's extremely likely I'll still be very red/pink. I can't wear a hat to work and I'm not trying to tell people about it as I'm claiming a surgery on my leg instead which I've had surgery on before so it's believeable. I can't tell people that it's a hair transplant as we are pretty busy at work right now so time off for cosmetics would be very frowned soon. .
I've read a few different ways to mask the redness but I'm wondering if I could have some more advice. Using toppik or spray tan or make up. I was also considering going to a tanning booth, covering up the recipient area perfectly on the line and tanning slightly burning the rest of me to make it not stand out as much or make a sunburn story believable.
I can use a stand up desk if I want so people can't look directly down on my head.
im extremely diffusely thinned but the slight hair that I have left still follows the hairline that will be transplanted so it would probably look like I bussed the top (I keep the back and sides buzzed as it is)
I appreciate anyone's advice. Thank you all in advance!
