Hair Trimming after 2 weeks post FUE?

Akash1991
I had a hair transplant (FUE) 17 days ago, today is 18th day post procedure. I did not shave my head for the treatment since it was just the hairline(1146 grafts to be precise). My actual hair has gone pretty messy in this span of healing. I wish to trim it to the size of the transplanted hair(which would be a grade 1 trim). My scabs haven't completely fallen. Is it advisable to trim at this point? Even the donor area?
