Hi doctors, I had a FUE hair transplant of 3250 exactly 2 weeks ago, the donor site is still pretty red and itches quite a bit. Is this normal and does it look normal? Should I be using moisturiser? Thanks

Answer: Afte FUE hair transplant: What to expect At 2 weeks you should have less redness in the donor area. If larger punches were utilized, the redness would be more severe and longer lasting. If you are using a cream to which you are allergic, it could explain intense redness and itch. It is however normal for some itching to be experienced during the healing phase. You should begin by consulting your operating doctor for clarity as to what might be going on and then a management course.

Answer: Post FUE 3250 Grafts As a physician who performs FUE transplants, and who has had it done personally I think this looks pretty normal. They may have taken a little too much at the top and bottom of the square as the hair regrowth looks a little sparse, but as your hair gets longer this shouldn't be noticeable. Hopefully, they paid attention to your hair density and spread out the donor sites evenly. You can use a moisturizer as it won't hurt anything, but I would keep it away from the top of the head where the new follicles have been placed. Best not to have any unnecessary chemicals irritating the new follicles. Itching is a sign of healing, and unfortunately is quite normal with this procedure. In the future, you may also experience the joy of some ingrown hairs, but it will pass. All in all. looks pretty normal in this pic you provided. Hang in there. It will be worth it. Regards, Dr. Giordano
