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: Redness & Itching after Hair Transplantation It looks normal. The redness is acceptable and itching also and it will go away in between 2-4 weeks. But if you have any question marks so please consult with your surgeon for your case.

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
