Is it ok to wear bangs post FUE for hairline restoration?

BkbabyAug 14, 2017
I'm on day 4 post FUE, I'm female with long hair and bangs. I've started shampooing the recipient area today and wondering as I let my hair dry out if it's ok to continue wearing my bangs, or if I should have the recipient area free of anything touching it. I had my hair back until today. Thanks in advance.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  You already had the surgery and at this point you have to just wait it out.  Don't waste time reading other's complaints about your doctor.

You need to contact your doctor for a check up as you likely have excessive scabbing and crusting on your scalp.

If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "redness" you should contact your doctor. Redness and pimples are signs of infection.

There is no such thing as NO SCAR FUE.  You will always have gaps and little round areas of hypopigmentation after FUE when you shave your head.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. In general you should be able to wear a helmet after one week but check with your doctor.
