Since late day 4 and day 5 post-op, 98-100%~ of my recipient scabs have just fallen off on their own without any concerns thus far. Now the scabbing has come off, my face is super dry in the recipient area. Am I able to moisturise the recipient area, or do something to make it feel less dry? If not, what's the reason why? My doctor advised not to moisturise (the recipient area) for about 14 days, but I wanted to understand the reasoning why? My doctor instructed me not to go to the gym (weight lifting) until 14 days post-op. I wanted to understand if this is a normal time frame from other practices,
