I agree that we should do this for ourselves and to hell with everyone else but the reality is that even with that attitude it still does hurt when people poke fun at us about our hair. If I can choose, I would definitely not tell anyone about the procedure, like you said, we are doing this for ourselves, it’s nobody’s business. The only problem is that friends and family will for sure ask about the holes in the head, they are just too obvious, no way to hide.

Hi all, I didn´t tell anybody, just my wife and Lola my hairdresser. People notice a brutal haircut -went from long to FUE cut- but NOTHING ELSE. I got 3.600 grafts at HDC on the 16th-18th of February this year and came back to the office on Tuesday 23rd. Everybody was shocked with the haircut but that´s it. Gotta say, had no red skin after 4 days post-op. Just cut my hair yesterday as growth is irregular for the moment and again, people saying why do you do this ? Girls at the office say, well, its a big change but you actually look much better…:smiley: :wink:
