    Depending on what work you do you will have to contend with pre op redness.In some patients this is easily noticeable and you`ll need to have an excuse at the ready as your head may look like a bad case of sunburn especially if you have the shaved look.
    Take a look at patients blogs to see what i mean.

    Redness is mainly a problem with redish complected white guys. For darker skin like mine, and I am very caucasian, redness really is not a common problem.

    It all depends on your goals. If you are planning to keep a shaved, or nearly shaved head, you'll need a higher count and will need to do a "u" preserving your frontal tuft. If you grow your hair out, then you may choose to do the frontal triangles and style your hair over the center.

    So, for one option...2500; the other maybe 1500. Maybe more or less, really depends on your donor region, your family history, and your goals...

    That is why an in person consultation is so important.

    how many hours will take it take for hair transplant to finish? I am bit concerned with how much time will be spent so that I could file my leave from work.

    Having done over 400 FUE procedures over the past 3 years (compared to over 3 times this many by FUG), it is my finding that, despite our consistently best work, the yield of FUE is simply lower than that of strip/FUG. So while some patients have comparable results, there seems to be the occasional patient who, for reasons unknown, have moderately lower percentages of growth with FUE procedures.
    In your case, there are several approaches that my patients feel work for them. One is to concentrate the 1600 to 2000 or so FUE grafts into a strong frontal forelock. An alternative, one that yields a nice cosmetic improvement, is to spread the grafts out over the front two-thirds to near entire top of the head, giving a great look when the head is shaved or cut short.
    You have options.

    You won't feel the same for a minimum 3-5 months, and in some cases up to a year before you feel back to normal with the new growth.

    being seen in public will be difficult, it is very hard to hide a transplant in the early stages, go look at blogs here and else where, email people who been through it. They will assist you.

    I am over a year out and still trying to get back to normal, it is not as easy as you think. I still have many residual problems.
