How Long Should I Wait to Shower After Eyebrow Transplant?

I usually recommend showering 4-5 days after hair transplant surgery using Baby shampoo.  Some surgeons have special products they like to use in conjunction with showering.  Consult with your surgeon.

Post-procedural care will vary widely from one surgeon to the next after any hair transplant procedure, including brow transplants.  In my practice, I recommend that patients wait 48 hours before getting the grafts wet in the shower, and even then, instruct them not to let the water hit the grafts directly.
Always follow your surgeon's specific post-procedure instructions.
All the best,

You can shower any time but most importantly follow your doctor's instructions on post operative care.  Most patients should gently clean their eyebrows starting the next day.

With gentle handling, it should be fine after one week. Transplants are typically secure at three days or more. Always consult with your transplant doctor.

This procedure, which we perform on average 2 to 3 weekly, is a quite delicate one. We instruct our patients to keep the brows dry for five days, after which they can carefully wash them.

Hello, Thank you for your question, Eyebrow transplant procedure is very delicate and requires very well post-op care. I suggest my patient to start washing their eyebrow on the 3rd day after the surgery. But washing should be very gentle with no scratching  or rubbing. They should wash their eyebrows daily with required shampoo only. Only 12 days after the procedure patients can start gently massaging, and on 14 days post-op I expect my patients to have clean eyebrows with no scabs.  Once all scabs are gone, the patients might have shedding process, but its absolutely normal. And by the time patients can get back to normal washing.

Every surgeon may recommend different timeframe but it really depends on how you plan to shower. I suggest approximately 24 hours after the surgery and only apply gentle pressure to your face and try to avoid rubbing the transplanted area.

Regarding taking a shower after an eyebrow transplant,  I tell my patients to wait at least forty-eight hours.

I love eyebrow transplant and it si the MOST awarding cases that we perform in our clinic. In the first week, pour shampoo in bowel of water and use a gauze to dab the areas. After the 7th day, you can take a shower and may slowly message the areas to remove the crust. Good luck. You will love the results and will get a lot of compliments. Dr. Behnam.

Although this is a question you should ask your physician, I tell my patients not to shower for 24 hours following the end of the procedure.  At this point a "fibrin clot" has occurred to keep the grafts intact so long as direct pressure of water or excessive trauma to the area is not created.  Gentle shower pressure is mandatory.
