Secrets for Keeping a Hair Transplant Discrete
The first few weeks after hair transplant surgery can be awkward. Though looking at all the new little hairs in the mirror can be exciting, you may look funny to others while you are in the healing stages, especially since hairs are initially surrounded by scabs for the first few days to a week. As you are reminded of the new head of hair you will have after your hair transplant matures, you are encouraged. But how do you conceal your awkward time of healing from the world? How long should you take off from work for healing? How can you keep you hair restoration surgery a secret?

Hi,
Just had my 2nd surgery with Dr. Paul shapiro and I am wearing a very loose fitting 100% cotton french beret. I bought several of these on ebay and found one that fits perfectly. Folks just think it is an “avart gaurd” look, and if anyone asks I just tell them that I had a small surgery on my head and need to wear this loose hat for a while. Most don’t quiry further if I don’t encourage follow up questions, but move on to other topics. I like the beret look too. Kind of trend setting-ish and individual.
🙂
Best, Jeff
