I would say after my 1st transplant it was noticeable, but after my 2nd transplant I never even think about it. I spend more effort on trying to keep my hair the best length because it seems to grow really fast, and then it has a mind of its own. You spend much more time worrying about your hair than other people spend looking at you, because they are worried about their own hair. The one exception is if you have a weird hairdo that will draw more attention.
