When to shower after eyebrow transplant?

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.

You can shower the next day following an eyebrow transplant

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. see video

Recommendation re showering after hair transplantation varies by surgeon

Surgeons vary in their recommendations on this point after hair transplantation. Typically 1-5 days would be the range of answers. In our practice we allow showering 24-48 hours after hair transplantation. The main thing to be careful of early is mechanical trauma to the grafts by rubbing or picking.

The next day, but ...

You can shower the next day, however no excessive water pressure around the eyebrows. Preferably, you should use a cup to wash the hair, so there is no direct pressure.

Showering after transplant

You should direct this question to your surgeon. Normally hair grafts are firmly in place by 5 days therefore one should be able to gently wash with soap and water.
