In general most men have about 6000 to 8000 donor hair grafts in their life time.  You can plan your surgery based on your donor hair and understanding of what is possible (in terms of final results).

If you had a FUE procedure and you still have visible donor area scarring after almost a year, it will not likely get any better.

PRP does not speed up hair growth.  There is no such thing as stem cell injections (to grow hair) as of 2016.

Wash your hair as instructed by your doctor.  If you are not sure or unclear of the instructions, contact your doctor.  Listen to YOUR DOCTOR.  Not "someone" or strangers.

If you already drank beer and danced, it would be a moot point to ask when you can dance.  There is nothing wrong with dancing.

If you have concerns about your surgery, it is best to ask your doctor.  You can ask to see your surgical records.
