How Long After Hair Transplant Surgery Can One Comfortably Go out in Public?

Thank you for your question regarding hair transplants.  Typically I recommend a patient to be around the house after a hair transplant for about 7-10 days.  By then some of the scabbing has fallen off and the donor site is starting to grow on in.  

After Hair Transplant surgery, the disappearance of surgical traces depends on the size of the surgery and treatment method.
For example, if you have FUE hair transplant, the scar of the recipient area would heal within 2-3 weeks. You can also go out with a cap, it depends on your comfort level and hair growth rate.

If you have FUT strip method, the donor site will be socially acceptable even on the same day. If the recipient site is shaved, then 2 weeks time will be needed for getting rid of the surgical scar.

However, with both the above methods, there are usually visible scabs at the recipient sites, which fall off by about 12-14 days after the procedure.

After performing Follicular Unit Extraction techniques with the Neograft system, you normally have the back of your scalp shaved.  The transplants often are transplanted in regions where you already have some hair and can be subtle in appearance.  At times though, the grafts are more noticeable and may require a hat to hide the newly transplanted hair follicles.  The back of the scalp heals very quickly and hair can regrow fast as well.  Usually I advise a 10 day to 2 week recovery so that the posterior scalp extraction sites are hidden and unnoticeable.  I hope this helps!
