Answer: It is best to follow up with you doctor for post surgical issues. You may have swelling which may dissipate over time.
Thank you for submitting your question, at your age, would recommend to continue your minoxidil and finasteride. PRP, laser cap and taking amino acids is recommended. When you are ready for your FUE, you can continue finsasteride, and discontinue rogaine for 1-2 weeks before your surgery. Best ...
In my opinion you should wait at least 2 weeks to allow your scalp to heal fully in most individuals. People who are older or have underlying medical conditions that may slow healing may need to wai a bit longer, however for the average joe, the two week period of time is fine.
If you want to hide your FUE scars, then SMP is a great option to do so. But be ware, there are facilities that use pigments that turn colors over time resulting in a blue or green appearance and will leave you needing to have corrective laser work and a revision SMP session...
