Answer: Swelling is Normal Swelling happens all the time, usually delayed a couple of days after the transplant occurs. You have no cause for alarm unless it persists for more than a few days, in which case you should contact your doctor.

Answer: Swelling after an FUE Some swelling may occur on the front area; this is perfectly normal. Your forehead may begin to swell the 1st, 2nd or 3rd day after surgery. Put some ice on your forehead (never apply the ice to the grafted area) from the first day of surgery until the fourth day after this. If you notice that the oedema keeps on swelling, you can take 8, even 10 corticoids. However, if the oedema does not continue to swell, you can gradually reduce the number of corticoids: taking 4, then 2, then 0.
