Question about my upcoming procedure

[FearTheLoss]

Hey guys, I've finally taken the plunge. I said to hell with it and I'm scheduled to have my treatment with Dr. Gho this December. The entire procedure is going to be to my hairline..if you guys remember Tobbin's hairline case a few threads back, my hair is similar to his except a bit more receded.

My question for members here who have had a procedure already....has anyone not shaved their head down? I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm having a procedure done by growing my hair out long to cover it up...do you think if I opt to not shave my head down...that my results won't be as good?

thanks

My question as well... it'll be bloody obvious I got a procedure, if people see me with a shaved/buzzed head...

I think retiring yourself from social activities from like 10-14 days after procedure would be the best bet to pass undetected. Cuz if u grow out a combover to your donor area some people may find your haircut really weird. Also, when your native hair in front will be long and implanted stuff will start to grow.

Donor eh?

No problem. As long as I don't have to shave donor and recipient?

I'm doing the exact same thing in September, Feartheloss. I can let you know how it goes. Are you flying overseas?

Okay, I would appreciate that.

And yes, I am flying from the USA. How about you?

From Canada. Probably out of Toronto. My plan is to:

1. Get there the morning before, take the tube down to the area and stay in a hostel. Trying to save every penny I can so this takes as small a bite out of my life as possible.
2. Get a 1000-1200 graft procedure.
3. Fly home the next day.
4. Stay home from work for a week.
5. After 3 weeks, get my normal buzzcut.
Will get the procedure from Gho himself.

I'm planning to go as well, I'm also from Toronto. Luckily for me I have friends in London, thus I can crash for a few days if need be. I'll definitely need a week+ off from work so it goes as little noticed as possible. However I'm aiming for 1,800+ grafts;

- 500 grafts per temple to fill in (1,000 grafts)
- Lower hairline which should be about 20cm (20 x 35 grafts = 700)

I'd like to go for about 2,400 grafts though and fill in areas behind my CURRENT hairline, just in case recession continues.

Cost for 1,800 grafts is $13,268.29 CAD
