WORTH IT$8,500
I'm 32 and probably started seeing hair loss around 25. The past 2 years went really rapidly though. I pretty much wore hats all the time. I ended up shaving my head but I was just uncomfortable with the look. I had looked into hair transplants for a long time and was finally financially stable enough to do it. I only wanted to do one procedure so I figured I would go with the largest number of grafts offered. My goal was basically to get a front hairline and some density in the middle. I was ok with having a thinner crown as that is way more common with guys my age. I just didn't want to look 42 when I took my hat off.
The procedure itself was painless and I was pretty much out the whole time. The night of was pretty uncomfortable but I was able to manage it with the pain meds they gave me.
The overall procedure - I'm not sure I would have done this if I couldn't wear a hat at work. Obviously we get this done because we are self conscious. I'm a month out and have the "friar tuck" haircut. But that's just me being narcissistic. I will add progress pictures as we go.

Any post op procedure that helped with the redness or were you not expecting any. Looks good!

No I didn't really do anything to help with the redness. I was given a saline squirt bottle to spray for the first 10 days but that was more for the scabbing. That may all depend on your skin color/type and how you heal.

Not much change. Hopefully cutting the sides shorter soon just to make it look better.

Is this FUT or FUE?
It's posted in the FUE section and I see no mention of a scar.

I'm not sure why it was posted to the FUE section as I selected FUT and I can't seem to edit that part. It's difficult to get good pictures of the scar as I'm pretty much the only one taking the pictures. It's still healing at this point so it's kind of hard to tell what it's going to look like but I will update pictures of it once it's a little more healed.

Thanks, Wildcard.
It could be easiest to take pics in a bathroom, with your back to the mirror. Then you may be able to frame a decent pic. It's not an easy angle to take!
There is a hair transplant section on Realself, so maybe you can report your first post to the moderators/Community reps and they can move it from FUE HT -> HT.
