Can taking bodybuilding supplements harm the FUE?

AbdGermanyMar 14, 2016
I had started a supplements course in fitness before i made my FUE (1.5 month ago). The supplements include Whey protein, amino acids, fat burner, test booster, oestrogen blocker. I plan to return back to my training. My question is about if these supplements can affect my FUE (negative or positive way)

Totally normal.  I would be more concerned if you didn't have swelling.  Give it a week and it will go away.  Generally, it will settle with gravity's help.  So, try to position yourself accordingly.  Regards, Doc Gio

The best thing you can do is to wash the grafts post hair transplant.  I wouldnt spend too much money or time on any kind of sprays or solutions.  Just a simple routine simple wash per your doctors instructions should be just fine.

FUE do not work well on African American patients. You would also have to shave your head.  Don't trust doctors only because they are on this webstite.  Meet the doctors in person an then form your opinion.

You can apply lotion but it is best to ask your surgeon if you have concerns.  Many doctors have their own specific post operative care.

Thank you for your question. You are in the very initial stages of your healing process. Your healing thus far seems fine, but you should be sure to follow your board certified facial plastic surgeon's healing guidelines diligently and remain patient.Best wishes,
