I just had a procedure in the frontal hairline and I am currently on day 7. My doctors instruction were to not touch my recipient area for 4 weeks, but the crusting is really starting to build. It seems most of the other doctors want you to start massaging and removing the scabbing and crusts by the 10-14 day mark. Can I just start removing the crusts gently between days 7-10? I need to attend a funeral now on day 11 post op and cant having crusting all over my head. Talk about bad timing.
Hi. I had a hair transplant last week in Monday, so in the morning it will be 8 days since operation. I'm worried because my crust is still there and it is a lot of it. Can I pick it off without worrying that my hair will fall off or should I wait for it to fall off by its own? I put some bepanthen on it. Any advice ? The back is ok but front is worrying. I Had transplant in turkey.
Hello all :) I had a hair transplant 4 weeks ago (FUE). I experienced very little shedding since my transplant probably because i was shampooing very very gently on the scalp. This in turn resulted into a thick crusty layer on my scalp. Today I had this brain fade moment where i decided to scratch off this crust which in turn resulted into nearly 100-150 Hair that fell off. Are these dead hair? Or have I now lost 150 precious grafts!? Many thanks.
The 1st day post-op I misread the instructions and made the mistake of gently tapping the recipient area with a soapy sponge, but I was gentle, no bleeding. About 4-6 days after the procedure, I noticed some cracks in between the recipient area after doing some light washing. Once the majority of the crusts came off 12-14 days after op, I didnt have any little hairs in those areas and it kind of looked blank but when looking close, it looked like the follicle was in there without the hair on top. Does everything look normal to you?
This is my 4th day after it. I am curious to know how would I know if I have accidentally in sleep or during bathing broken or removed a graft? Also how should the crust be removed properly and in how many days?
After a FUE procedure will the new hair grow first before it falls out or stay short. I had a procedure on crown and hairline 2 weeks ago and some of the hairs have started to grow and some remaining very short like stubble. Is this anything to worry about ? I assume the short stubbly ones are healthy and will fall out with the others in due course? All crusts have gone now.
What to wash hair with 5 days post fue hair transplant doctor said first use 3/ 4 drops of hibbicleanse/ Bactoscrub on wet gauge and put on scalp also said to put 5 mins of shaving cream leave it and then wash after that followed by leaving aloe water for recepient and putting aloe lotion for donor..hibbicleanse doesn't sound right and shaving cream to soften crust idk confused as dr. said stick to this regimen we have been doing this for years...please help..??
I just had my procedure done one week ago. I think I got nearly all the scabs and crusts off. It is now still very noticeable and much darker on my implanted area. Was the procedure done properly? If so how long should I expect to wait before it blends and looks more natural? I understand I will have shock loss/shedding of the new hairs in the next 2-3 weeks as well.
