Asked By:Iz877 in London, GB

Two quick questions firstly I'm on day 9 post FUE I have noticed hair thinning loss around my top where grafts have been placed is this normal I currently use rogaine could this help fix the problem I have been using if 2 years pre op. Secondly my sides & back (donor recovering well) are longer then what's on top could I trim this down with a 1* clipper to even the hair up? Also could I start using restoria cream to hide some of the grey hairs on the sides( non transplanted areas) Thank you
