Today I am 5 days postoperative after my FUE hairtransplant. After my doctor has seen pictures of my recipient area of day 4 postop. he advised me to preventivly apply iodine on my whole recipient area. There have not been signs of inflammation or pimples yet. However I did as advised, and now am little bit concerend if Iodine as a antiseptic can do harm to the grafts or has any effect on the growth rate.
