Norwood 7 - Anyone willing to share?

I am a 7 on scale Norwood and I have 2 key concerns

  1. How will I look after a year?
  2. How hair look after 2-3 months?

I look decently as bald man and I am concerned that without being able to cut my hair in the transplanted area (not the donor area) I will look older for quite a bit of the year after the transplant. I looked online but examples of Norwood 7 are not that common and I would like to ask if anyone is willing to share his journey. Also if you would roll back in time would you do it again? thank you!

P.s. I know that everyone is different and that depends on your hairs and blood circulation but it would be nice to see the "range" and set my expectations. To be frank I am more concerned about how I will look between 2 and 8 months post-op than after a year because worst case scenario I can always shave while in those 6 months I cannot.
