Can I wear a tight wig (without tape or glue) after a hairline transplant?

June 20, 2024
Asked By:Thoughtful478609 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

I'm a female with a genetically receding hairline and I'm eligible for a hairline transplant I am worried about covering up the transplant area for the year after the procedure. I am wondering if I can wear a tight hairline lace wig that is applied without any tape or glue 2 weeks after the procedure ? Is this harmful or detrimental to the procedure and transplant area? Or safe to do Thank you for your help
