how long after hair transplant surgery can I cut (carefully) my recipient area with hair trimmer?
Answer: Hair Transplant Dear s...nThanks for the question. Although you do want to protect your scalp from the sun after surgery, avoid wearing hats for the first couple weeks. You can get back into the routine of getting a haircut about three weeks after your surgery. If you dye your hair, you can do so again at the end of the first month. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Pick and choose your answer You can pick and choose your answers here or ask this question to your doctor.We sometimes cut our patients hair the next day (if they request it). Some doctors say wait several weeks.Seeking personal medical or post surgical questions on the Internet will likely lead to conflicting answers.

Answer: Haircut after HT Hello! Thank you for your question. I suggest my patients not to have any hair cut until they are 3 weeks post op. 3 weeks after the surgery they can cut their hair, but only with scissors. For machine its better to wait at least 15-20 weeks for the donor area, but transplanted area better not to shave yet, until the final results.

Answer: Cutting hair 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.
