You can wear a hat or a scarf a week after your surgery but it is always a good idea to check with your doctor.

As long as the scarf is not tightly wrapped or causing any pulling you should be completely fine.

After day 7 it is okay to wear some kind of head cover. However, please make sure it is not snug fitting. Also, be sure to consult with your attending physician prior to this to insure there are no concerns.

After 7 days you should be safe to wear a scarf. I would keep it fairly loose.ThanksSteven Brown, MD

You can wear anything on your head that does not rub the recipient sites or the donor area. Once everything is healed, you should be free to do what you want.
