I've already had a procedure with Dr Armani, but had the privilege of having an LOA from work to finish school.
Now, im looking to have a procedure in mid-december to fill in behind the hairline (Zone 2), and keep me going until the next little bit.
The question I have for members is, for those who work in professional work or office environments, how did you conceal your transplant until it no longer was noticeable?

| Hi, Although my procedure was FUSS, my thoughts are that because your head will be shaved for the procedure, after a few days maybe a bit longer the reddening from the donor & tranplanted areas would have faded away & you will just be left with an appearance of a shaved hairstyle. That is the massive advantage with FUE :-)

The donor looks very good within a week, but the recipient area is tough to hide because of the scabs and more redness.
If you're having a new hairline reconstructed, you won't have existing stubble to conceal it a bit and it will take weeks before it doesn't look odd.
I don't work in an office so I can't really help with ideas for you.

| ac874, You bring up a good point, I had my transplant a while back and I'm going to need to go in for a touch up in Zone 2 as planned. Thing is I grew my hair out pretty long, I would say like 4 inches fron the scalp, and depending on when I schedule an appointment, I'll have to shave my head down to get the people at work use to me in short hair for a few months before the touch up procedure. I'm thinking I'll need at least 2 weeks to recoup to 'pinkish' recipient area to get by unnoticed. What does everyone else think?

| Hey, You were lucky to have a leave of absence from work. I was only able to take a week off and still had a lot of scabs on my hairline when I went back to work in the office, lol. To be honest, not many people asked what had happened. I told those that did ask that I had a procedure. It even looked good when it was all scabs believe it or not..... but I would wait until you could take 2 weeks off of work in my opinion. That's what I plan on doing for my next one. Gabriel

| Some people shave their head down a few weeks before their procedure, so when they return t owork with a shorter buzzed hair cut 2 weeks after their procedure people are already used to it. Others grow some facial hair or a beard. This brings the focus away from the top of the head. If wearing a hat or bandana is an option that works real well in concealing that you have had work done.

I think alot depends on who you work with, how close you are with them. Are you in close proxity to them all the time? Are you short like me(if so buy some Tom Cruise platforms), or maybe you are lucky and tall so noone can look down on your baldy head. You could be like this little fell and walk around on your hands. As for me I wore a lose base ball cap, but you probably cant seeing as you mentioned professional environment. If someone spots an irregularity then you could just say you got sun burnt in a solarium or at the beach or something of the sort.

| I am going back to work next Tuesday from my procedure. I will be wearing a bandana to the office. Yes it will be noticeable but people will not know I had a procedure for my hair.
