Had it done 5 days ago, healing well. No swelling or pain at all, I've been washing it with a cup method and baby shampoo one or twice a day. My front grafts are covered by my own hair but the temple area is still visible. can I apply make up to my temple areas? Either powder or liquid form? What about the back of my head where it's a donor area and no follicles were inserted? Thanks

Answer: Every doctor may have a different opinion on what you should do after surgery.
Large FUE sessions may leave permanent bald patches or "moth eaten" appearance to the donor area when the hair is kept very short. It is best to follow up with your doctor with your concerns.
It is best to address your concerns with your doctor. There are always risks with any surgery. Dr. Kabaker is a well known and great surgeon who specialize in hair line lowering.
Generally a transplant would be pretty close to 100% survival, but it almost never hits the perfect survival mark, and a surgeon definitely couldn't guarantee that it would be 100% either. Even if only 90% survive, that's still a lot of grafts and it'll probably look just fine once you see...
