I didn't notice any post op shedding. The only change that I've noticed is that a small amount of hair (a tuft) that was left in the middle at what became the hairline before my HT has turned grey. But it seems to blend in ok with the rest of my hair. I am a light red-head and one advantage of my colour and that of red-heads in general is that we don't seem to go grey until much later in life. The HT that I've had is the best thing I've done in many years. I don't comb my hair over a receding hairline anymore. I feel good and that's the main thing. This year I've had a lower face-lift done and upper and lower eyelid surgery. I look a good ten years younger than I did 6 months ago. All my operations were done in China. Two years ago I had all my old tooth fillings drilled out and had 18 crowns (caps) replaced at a city in China. They were around US$100 each and they were an alloy of titanium. So in the past 2 years I've had a HT, lower face-lift, upper & lower eyelids and 18 crowns fitted for US$7000. And I feel good In my experience and opinion, the HT is the best job though for boosting confidence and moral. Having a decent hairline is the best of all.
