No one can predict exactly what your body will do. I went to work 10 days after my first procedure with a slightly pink scalp that could have been mistaken for a slight sunburn. Some people have reported no pinkness at all by that time. On the other hand, my second procedure involved more densely packed grafts and I was pink for 2-3 months. Cream concealer from the makeup store took care of it. You may also end up with swelling of the forehead, which moves down to the eyes before disappearing in a few day s. I would recommend AT LEAST a week off, but 2 weeks would be safer. Resign yourself to the fact that some may notice. What do you think people will say after a few months when you have hair, and they remember when you were bald? Many will figure out th a t you did "something". But, it's amazing how many people don't notice what others look like, and don't notice or care if you have hair or not.e
