probably depends on how large a procedure, and what kind of swelling you experience...megasessions usually result in more swelling in the forehead, then eye area..it goes away quickly, but figure a week before you want to be seen in public..
I had both my surgeries on Thursday and felt ten days later on Monday was just about perfect. The scabs were gone, the staples were out, and I had a fresh haircut to better blend the rest of my hair with the recipient area.
Typically 10-14 days (I've had 5 HT). Unless you have just crown work-- then you can comb your hair back to cover it (let front grow out before surgery) Then I would say 3 days.
My last HT, I went in on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. I wore a bandana, till Monday, then a hat to work. Though I can pull that kind of thing off without raising a flag. Ya, I'm professional, but you would never know by looking at the way I dress. Hat and shorts, are the best office were. Otherwise, 10 days should be good.
