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

Question

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?

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.Redness may be a sign of infection.  It is best to see a doctor for a physical examination.  At the least you should contact your doctor.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The first thing one thinks about with persistent redness is infection, and if that is not the issue, some blonde people with histamine sensitive skin can retain a pink color for months after a hair transplant. Go back and speak with your surgeon if this bothers you enough to get some local treatment on the red skin
