I was just wondering, when you get a second procedure done( about 8 months apart ) does the surgeon ask or usually cut short or shave the area to be transplanted? My first procedure is about 2 inches long and I would like to know if it is verey difficult to transplant between these hairs.

No. In my many HT experiences, the Dr. only shaves the donor area section he or she will be working from. You can transplant grafts in between long hair. It should not matter in the recipient area. Well it did not in my case. Please contact your Dr.
