Scabs/crusts very present 1 week post-op FUE. Is this normal? (Phtoo)

Asked By:mangebee in Stockholm, SE

Hi, I had 4040 grafts done 7 days ago, and my recipient area is still crusty/with scabs. Since day 4 I have applied panthenol prior to shampooing, but I was provided no spray to keep the grafts moist. Is it normal? Can the presence of crusts/scabs after one week affect my outcome? Thank you.

Answer: If you have post operative issues, especially within the first one to two weeks it is a good idea to contact your doctor.
