Hello, I am now 8 weeks post op. I still notice some of the hairs have not shed and there is quite a bit of redness around certain grafts. Can you please advise if this is normal? I have asked my consultant but he just always seems to says it’s ok without any real reassurance or guidance. Thank you in advance,
