2 weeks post-op. What does it mean to have a few ingrown hairs by the donor site? Will I still grow hair on those donor grafts?

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Hello. It is fairly common to get ingrown hairs after a transplant and in general don’t pose a problem. It’s best to put a warm compress on them two times daily. If they become red and/or painful contact your doctor as they could become infected and would need treatment.

Ingrown hairs after hair transplantation is common.  Oftentimes, it is simply treated with warm compression twice daily and they will spontaneously resolve. Be sure to check in with your doctor should they persist over the coming week or you demonstrate the common signs of infection including spreading redness, pain or fevers.
