Going Back to Work / Shock Loss

[optimist800]

Hi all.

 

Thanks to everyone who contributes to this very useful forum.

 

I'm male, 44. I have moderate diffuse hair loss on top and at the crown. It's got to the stage where I'm considering an FUE HT.

 

I was thinking of combining the HT with a long holiday so that when I go back nobody will know I had it done!

 

Would 3 weeks be enough, assuming FUE? A little bit of redness I could put down to sunburn or a phantom skin condition but I really don't want anyone knowing. Would the hair have grown enough?

 

My other question is about shock loss. Does it always happen and would it be a giveaway that I'd had a HT, even a few weeks afterwards?

 

Thanks,

Ed.
