FUE redness in Recipient area - 3 months post-op. (Photo)

ScottBryceFeb 14, 2018
Hi there, interesting video - I had FUE Choi surgery around 12 weeks weeks ago in Istanbul, total grafts was 3,600. I am already stating to see good grown in the recipient area however there is still a lot of redness and indentations where the incisions were made using the Epi pen. How long did you have to wait before the redness went away?

Pitting and cobble stoning may be a technical issue but it can also be partly a patient related issue if one is prone to scarring.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.The kinked or "J" shaped grafts may be a technical issue.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issue as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Some patients get pimples and ingrown hairs.  Your doctor can help treat this.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issues.   Scarring and pitting can be an issue after surgery.  It doesn't go away.  It may affect the growth as it is scarring tissue.
