Hair Transplant "Victims" - How do you cope?!?!

[jamesst11]

Excuse me for the title, but this topic is precisely for that. Those of you that have been "disfigured" by a transplant, how exactly do you cope? I simply don't understand how. Say for example (and I will give you my precise scenario) you had an almost full head of hair and got transplants only on one side and in the next couple of years thinned out so much that it was hard to cover up? So, now you have transplants in one area and thinning throughout the rest of the head... Any one on here have a similar story? Do you just shave it? Wouldn't it still look unusual? Especially with the cobblestoning and ridging? What exactly do you do when this in this scenario? because I am confused, frustrated and seemingly running out of options.
