I had my FUE done 23 days ago. Can I wear a glueless wig?

Question

My wig is glueless and has no clips in it. I only use an elastic band to secure it. My concern is that I would have to wear it for the whole day till bedtime, then I can remove it. My second concern is that the lace might be rubbing against the transplanted graft as it is at the hairline area and the donor area might be covered by the elastic band also. SO PLEASE INSTRUCT ME & HELP ME. I contacted my doctor and she said is not familiar with wigs and didn't really help at all. She is not in the USA

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.

Yes, once you are completely healed and keep in mind that things that you already seem to know about rubbing the recipient area and trauma to it, you can wear a lose fitting wig.

You can return to your normal routine after you have healed completely and your grafts are settled. Usually after three weeks you can wear a wig, but follow up with your doctor to be sure.

You can wear the wig only if it does not rub on the recipient area.  If the wig rubs on the recipient area,  the end result might be compromised.
