I used a hair dryer on the warm/hot setting 10 days post op from hair transplant on recipient site. Did this damage the transplanted hair? I used it for about ten minutes to dry my hair after washing it. I was told after ten days its healed but now im worried.

Answer: There should be no issues with combing your hair or blow drying your hair 10 days after surgery.
It would be unlikely that your hair follicles were mixed up with other patients next to you. If you are concerned it is best to address your issues with your doctor.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. It is not clear what the benefit of olive oir or castor oil may be.
