I went to another ISHRS doctor & he said it is a hematoma. Wait it out. Shall go. PLEASE, help me out on this with some specificity. Attaching pics. Should I use hot compresses & massages. It is slowly shrinking in size, & not hard any more. Becoming tender & moving down. Any sort of help is appreciated. Heck, we may have ISHRS surgeons here, but it is you all who have defined hair restorative surgery and relayed it. I'm attaching post op 10th day pics for a close scrutiny, it's getting on to me

If you cannot see your doctor, can't you email him? You have no way to contact your doctor?  Pimples can be an issue after surgery.  Hair loss can be a sign of shock loss or just transplanted hairs shedding.

Your hair should be well "anchored" in place by 8 days post-procedure.  Gentle washing/shampooing the area at this time will allow any remaining crusts to dislodge without forcefully pulling the residual crusts.  You may see some hairs coming out, but the follicles remain embedded...

NeoGraft uses automated FUE.  We have performed over 4,000 grafts in a day using this (preferred) technique.  Manual FUE is likely a slower process.  With strip method, the graft number can be greater but one is left with a large scar.

Dear Lazygal,Thank you for writing in with this question. There are 2 things that could be going on here. The hairs that are growing are likely alive and well. In experienced hands, up to about half of the grafts that are transplanted will simply continue to grow where they were placed. So...
