I am an afro Caribbean male who has just undergone an FUE hair transplant. I have been told by my surgeon that I should avoid cutting my hair over the transplanted region with clippers as the vibration in the clippers can affect hair growth. I am somebody who regularly gets a haircut and this will be quite difficult for me to stop doing. Can anyone advise otherwise?
Answer: It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

Answer: Clipper use and hair transplant growth ill_name_this_laterSorry, but there is no association with the use of clippers beyond the first two weeks after a hair transplant and the subsequent growth of the transplant. It is recommended that proper care be employed to gently shampoo and style for the week following the transplant.All the best,Bernardino Arocha, MD

Answer: Use of clippers after FUE The use of hair clippers does not affect the growth of transplanted hair. However, the first 10 days, the transplanted grafts are very fragile. I recommend that you wait at least 2 weeks before you cut your hair to be sure that the grafts are healed.

Answer: Do hair clippers affect the growth of transplanted hair? Grafts are very tenuous the first week after surgery and even minor trauma should be avoided. Beyond that I cannot think of a reason not to trim hair. That said, there may be something unique to you and/or the clippers you use that prompted your surgeon to give you that advice, so I would not advise you to ignore his/her suggestions.

Answer: Clipping frontal hairs Clipping the frontal hair grafts should not be done for a month after a hair transplant for fear or the clipper pulling out a graft. After a month, it is ok
