It was so stressful because only one side of my head was noticeably sparse. I can hide it with bangs, but when I tie my hair back or when the wind blows, you can see the empty area. Also, since it's only one side and not both, it looked even more severe. It's only been 3 weeks since I had the hair transplant, but I'm happy with the hairline. It's still very early, so I'll need to keep visiting the clinic to monitor the progress, but honestly, you know right away. You can tell immediately if it went well or not just by looking... you get the feeling. Even though my hair hasn't fully grown in yet, when I see the transplanted hairline, I'm looking forward to how it will look once all the hair has grown.
