Is it normal to feel fluid under your scalp 7 days post FUE?

johan.johanDec 24, 2017
Seven days ago i did a 3,600 grafts fue op and while most of the swelling is gone i can still feel a sensation of fluid under my scalp. Sometimes like its coming out of the skin. The whole donor area is also very tense and it hurts quite a lot. The area is healing good and no sign of infection. My doctor told me that it just needs more time to heal but id like a second opinion.

Hair transplant results are permanent.  Bad or good it is for life.  One way to remove hairs may be laser hair removal.  You would need to see a doctor for an examination to see if you are a candidate.

If you are losing hair and would like treatment options, it is best to see a doctor for an examination to understand why you are losing hair.

If the water temperature was hot enough to scald your skin or burn your skin then it may be an issue.  Otherwise it should not be an issue.
