Cutting hair after hair transplant surgery?

I recommend to cute hair 15-20 days after hair a transplant with scissors only. To shave with machine,  not before 6 months on the donor area and  transplant area.

It is common in my practice following a fairly large follicular unit extraction transplantation that I wait approximately two weeks. The reason being is the donor site is now filled in substantially and you patients often like to get a slight trim to even out the posterior scalp at the donor site to match the upper posterior scalp above the donor site and trim it nicely into the recipient area where the crown and top of the head have the recipient follicles. The first few haircuts are very important and should be by someone experienced in this area so it's almost as if it's a "no touch" technique haircut to the recipient site. Very little damage can occur at the donor site and that is just blending it in so it looks uniform without any bad untoward effects. It is usually not a problem at all.
