Is it ok to trim my existing hair on day 8 of recovery from 2700 Neograft FUE procedure? (Photos)

Congrats on your procedure. I'm sure you will be very happy with your result. You are bold to go to a wedding a week after a surgery! With regards to your question it would be fine for your stylist to blend in the back and sides. By now the harvest site punctures should be healed up. You are correct to have them stay away from the recipient sites for now even though the grafts are usually "locked in" by day 5-6. As far as what to expect.....you can see some shock loss but that will recover and your new grafts may take up to 3-4 months to start growing. By 6 months you should look remarkably improved. It will take up to a year to see the final result. Hope this helps.

Haircuts post grafting are typically delayed for approximately 10 days to 2 weeks. If you must do so before this point, special care must be taken to avoid disturbing the nascent grafts.Protocols will vary from practitioner to practitioner. The best advice is to follow the regimen as defined by your surgeon. These protocols have likely been formulated over years of experience. He/she will know best how to ensure the best result for you.In my practice we delay 10 days and work closely with our hair care professionals to ensure that the graft area is respected.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.

It's completely understandable that you'd want to get your hair cut after your procedure, especially before a big social event. You can certainly cut your natural hair at this point in your recovery, however, be very careful to not disturb the grafts in any way. Of course, if your doctor has a different opinion, it's best to defer to him or her.
