If I have FUT surgery, I am concerned about scars that may be noticeable in the recipient area?

Asked By:DWilder98 in Cincinnati, OH

I work in an office environment so will not be able to wear a hat. How many days after surgery could I apply some sort of cover cream to the donor area that might allow me to return to the office a few days earlier? Thanks!

Answer: FUT or strip surgery is usually done with the hair kept long so it would not be noticeable to others from the back.
