Pain a few days after FUT hair transplant?

qboltJun 23, 2016
Hi. 5 days ago i had my FUT hair transplant. I know that the wound heals for some time, but the left side of the closure is much better that the right. The pain on the right side is the same as it was on the first day post op. Is this normal? Painkillers dont really help:/. Should i contact the doctor or wait for some time more?

You should not have scabs 3 months after surgery. If you are not sure how to wash your hair please contact your doctor.

Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 2000-2500 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.
