How soon after an FUE transplant can you get SMP on the donor area and on the moustache/upper chin, the recipient area?

Question

I had an FUE transplant on my moustache and upper chin. How soon can I get SMP on the donor area to mask the punch hole scars? How soon can I get micropigmentation done on my moustache and upper chin area? Please do not tell me it depends on what I want my results to be or to ask my doctor. I only want to know how soon can someone in good health generally get SMP done without damaging (complications) or infecting the donor and recipient areas I mentioned. Thank you all in advance for your input.

Scalp MicroPigmentation or SMP can be done as long as your wound has healed with no redness.  This can be one month or three months or six months.  It depends on the person and how your scar has healed. Most importantly, it depends on the experience and comfort level of the doctor performing the procedure.

Hello and thank you for your great question. The scars must have healed first and there cant be any red areas. This process takes about 3 months after which time you can go ahead with a SMP procedure. Good luck to you.Dr. T

Thank you for your question. It would be fine to have a scalp micro-pigmentation procedure once the healing process is complete from you transplant procedure. I would recommend waiting 10-12 weeks following your FUE procedure. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

A Scalp Micropigmentation procedure can be done once all of the scars have healed and the red/pink color is gone. Usually this is 2-3 months after the FUEs were done.
