What's the best way to conceal FUE post op redness temple points?

Question

Hi, I will be under going a HT in a months time. The plan is I will be reciving 2500 grafts to be implanted in my temple points and scalp. I have heard so many different story's of post op redness and healing time of it and of cause everyone is different to how we all recover. So I will have 26 days recovery from the day of my HT to when I return to work. Presuming my redness on the recipient site has not disappeared in this time frame, is there a way to camouflage it? Make up, spray tan, etc?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Everyone heals differently.  It is best to discuss your post op plans and follow up care with your surgeon.  If you want to use make up or spray tan you need to discuss it with your surgeon since doctors may have different opinions and post op plan.

The redness in the recipient area starts disappearing and turning brownish within 48 hours of the surgery and sometimes it persists for a week or so. However, in case it remains, then you can simply grow your existing hair long or use artificial hair fibre to cover the same.

Your redness, inflammation and scabs should be healed 5-10 days after your procedure. Your recipient site should not have redness after three to four weeks.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The incidence of redness that lasts more than a couple of days is less than 2% of people in our hands. I would not expect to see any redness beyond the first few days and if you should have any, then use your existing long hair to cover it up. It works well for most of my patients who still have some hair present.

There are a threr main ways of covering the redness of the recipient area:1. Using a hat or bandana2. Applying artificial hair fibers,  ex Kabooki hair powder. 3. Grow your hair long and comb it over the recipient area.
