Which order should I schedule my surgery (LIPO/stomach or FUE/edges) ?

I'm 42 years old and in failry good shape physically...But I've read somewhere on here that surgery can sometimes have an adverse affect on FUE. I'm able to afford the FUE now. However, I have to make payment plan for LIPO..so I'm thinking six months after FUE. I would hate to spend money and time on FUE only to loose my hair after LIPO...Any suggestion please.

You need to contact your doctor if you have "very bad" break out and pimples. Call your doctor. Call the office.  If your doctor is not responding, see your regular doctor.

Everyone heals differently. It is best to discuss your post op plans and follow up care with your surgeon.  If you want to use make up or spray tan you need to discuss it with your surgeon since doctors may have different opinions and post op plan.

If you want to wear a glueless wig after your surgery it is always a good idea to check with your doctor.  It should be ok but always check with your doctor.

It can take six to twelve month after a hair transplant surgery to see results. So at two months, it may be too early to judge.

Scabbing, crusting, and hair loss may be a common occurrence days after your hair transplant surgery. If you believe something is not right, see your doctor for a recheck/exam.
