4 days FUT. my donor has yellow crust. Not painful then usual ... is this infected or normal??? Is it true grafts are different from amount of strands that grow? Thanks for any help.
Answer: Donor site "crust" after a hair transplant Looking at your picture the wound appears to be healing quite well. It is not infected. When the incision is closed with stitches, some fluid can ooze out of the wound. This will then dry out and form a "crust." It is a normal part of the healing process. The scabbing or crust will flake off on its own.

Answer: Normal but need care Yellow exudate that dries is normal. You should treat it with hydrogen peroxide diluted with 1 part water 1 part peroxide and clean it!

Answer: Hair Transplant Recovery First, don't worry about the donor site. It looks fine. Sometimes these areas can ooze a bit because of the injury, but this one is clearly not infected and looks like it was closed expertly.Second, each graft is a "Follicular Unit" which generally can have from 1-4 hair follicles within it. Therefore, the number of hairs that grow can be many more than the number of grafts. This is why some facilities that charge by the graft may not really be offering more hair, they just divide the grafts when necessary to make it appear that they have done more work.Good Luck!

Answer: Postoperative Care From the picture, you look to be healing well, but continued cleanings are needed to help encourage removal of the crusts. Witch hazel is an over-the-counter product that can be applied to the area during cleanings to loosen the crusts and doesn't have the potential risk of changing hair color. Good luck, and be sure to touch base with your surgeon if you develop any concerning changes.

Answer: It's Normal Good afternoon and Thank you for your question, 4 days post your FUT procedure - Please be assured that the suture area looks fine and there is no infection, you will just have to wait about another 12-14 days before the suture starts falling off if its dis-solvable (or) get it removed at the clinic manually if it's non dis-solvable.
