I'm 5 days post FUE facial hair transplant. How can I sleep, and wash, without disrupting my grafts? (Photo)

Thank you for your question, chinos316. You are right to have these concerns. Your board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your procedure should have provided you their recommendations and instructions for sleep and wash. I suggest you contact your board certified facial plastic surgeon for their advice.Best wishes,

If you just had surgery you were given instructions. If you have questions, it is best to contact your doctor (not strangers on the Internet)  Normally you sleep on your back.

I'd advise you review again the post op instructions with your surgeon. Every surgeon has different instructions. We advise patients to sleep on the back, slightly elevated. We advise daily washing of the grafts with soapy water for 5-7 days followed my gentle rubbing of the grafts to the end of week 2. Direct shower can hit the grafts at day 12-14.A dental procedure will have no impact on the grafts at 12 days post surgery.
