How noticeable or obvious would the recipient area of a hair transplant look if shaved in future?

November 27, 2015
Asked By:hairme in Carlow, IE

Supposing I got a transplant in my thirties without taking meds and decided 10 or 20 years from now that I didn't want a second transplant to touch things up ....as in maybe I just liked the work done but didn't love it, or maybe I began to care less turning 50, but for whatever reason..... Would a shaved head or buzz cut between blade one and zero leave the recipient area looking peculiar? Would the work be visible because of the artificial distribution stubble where follicles were put?
