Realistically, how likely am I to experience shock loss when having a 2500 graft FUE on an unshaven recipient area? (Photo)

Gonzo85x
I am soon going to undergo my second 2000-2500 graft FUE procedure. I intend to only shave the donor area and leave the hair in the recipient area unshaved. How likely am I to experience shock loss in the recipient zone? And, does the Choi Implanter Technique lower the risk of shock loss compared to the slit and place technique?...
