What's the minimum I have to use saline water after hair transplant? (Photo)

Question

Good Evening, I have an Quotation I got done with Hair transplant Few Days Back. My surgeon and Dr ask me to spray saline water on transplant area for first week, 3-4 Times a day. But used saline water for 4Days only. And I missed one line where mentions first week, and I read only 4 Days, actually it written that we have to change cap daily 1 for next 4 Days. I consult with my doctor she said apply for 2 more days. So I need suggestion, any thing to worry.

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

A hair transplant FUE or strip is treated the same way with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust is present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 3-4 days with daily washing. To get the crusting off, you need to leave the shampoo on your hair for 10 minutes and as the crust become water logged, then will come off with gentle finger action. Repeat this twice a day until it is all
 gone.
