On 6th days post my FUE surgery, I was massaging my dry scalp in circular motion slowly with my finger tips. I found out that the crisp & probably scabs were falling out of scalp. I continued this for the next day too in order to get rid of scab ASAP. On next day I noticed that HAIR were embedded in those scabs/crust. I have read that 10 days post surgery grafts are fixed in scalp and shampooing was allowed to remove scabs for first 2 weeks. Have i done wrong? Tell me what to expect & do now :(
I'm day 6 after FUE (3700 grafts) and I see that if i gently pass my hand (on dry hair), applying mild pressure, some scabs start to fall. Is this bad? Can it have a non desired effect? There is a lot of information and consensus on how to treat the transplanted area, starting to rub off the scabs after 9-10 days. My question is around the donor area, as I couldn't find mucha about it on this topic. Thanks
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.
My transplanted area started to itch, to ease it I do circular gentle massages, lately I have noticed little hard balls that when massaged they seem to pop-out(1 - 3 per day). They feel like sebum balls (white grainy substance). I am worried that this will prevent my new hair to grow.Today in one of those tiny ball (1/3 off a grain of rice) there was a black hair (see photos) I could not see if there was a bulb too in there. What can I do to prevent this? Should I stop massaging my hair?
My instructions said lather days 7-14. But all the crusts came out on day 8-9 while gently massaging with shampoo. today is my 11th day and it Doesnt look like I lost any grafts. Can you tell me if this ok?
Hello, Its been 9 days since i have done my FUE transplant. I am not sure when can i take a shower normally? can i massage the grafts area gently so the scabs will fall off? i am just tipping on it, and not directing the shower head on the area. Waiting for an answer please.
its been 9 days since my hair transplant and for the past 2 days i have done very gentle massages on my transplanted area. i keep panthenol foam on my head for 30 minutes and then use a shampoo prescribed by my doctor which i use to massage my scalp with. shall i be worried scabs don't seem to budge? any recommendations to remove scabs?
I had a FUE procedure with 4,500 to 5,000 grafts transplanted just three days ago. My doctor recommended that I must massage the donor area with a strong massage when washing to improve the circulation and healing process. (The recipitant areas should not be massaged or even touched.) But my donor area is very tender and red, and the massage treatment is very pain full. Is it necessary to massage the donor area after FUE surgery?
Today is 13th day post up. I used an avocado oil to massage the implanted area per instructions to remove the crust. I notice after shampooing with prescribed shampoo that I've been using since day 2 (just tapped it in inplanted area first 12 days), I notice that the crust had hairs in them. And many are still in the implanted area. Is that ok? Should there be hairs there or am I removing crust prematurely with the implanted hair attached? Should I removed all the crust slowly with the oil?
I have come back from Turkey following a hair transplant (FUE) procedure. I had 3800 grafts. My donor area is very tender and I have excruciating pain in this area and cannot get any sleep at night even after 2 weeks of post surgery! I have read and seen many videos on Youtube and all the videos advise that there is hardly or no pain after surgery!!!... not in my case! I have tried ibuprofen and paracetamol and massage but unfortunately it has made absolutely no difference. please help.
