21 days post-op FUE: can I shave or trim my head and how is the condition? (photos)

Question

Is it okay to trim transplanted hair after 21 days?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  In general, there should be no issue with trimming you hair 3 weeks after surgery.

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

We recommend our patients to trim their hair with a scissor after the surgery. Using a shaver should be avoid but please consult with your surgeon about his after care instructions.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

At this point it should be perfectly safe to get normal haircut, but wait at least a month before shaving your head completely.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Yes you can trim the hair with scissor.You may start to gym, heavy exercises and swimming 2 weeks after the FUE operation. Please wait 45 days for buzz cut with machines.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

You can shave or trip your hair if you wish. Always clear the timing with your doctor but I usually allow it
