I am planning to have my hair transplant surgery (strip procedure). I am trying to hide this matter from friends and family members and will rent a room for 10 days after surgery. How many days would be required to hide hair transplant signs such as scabs, swelling, redness small implanted hairs or any other odd thing so that no one notices my surgery. This would help me to plan my off days from friends and brothers/sisters. Thank you.
