Breakthrough to prevent swelling into the eyes and face after a hair transplant
We have become aware from the hair transplant community that the use of a specially designed tape, when placed at the mid-forehead, prevent swelling from going below the tape and given enough time, for those who wear the tape, to absorb the edema from the surgery through the scalp directly. Note the swelling above the tape which will not drop down below the tape. When combined with our traditional steroid use, we now can prevent swelling of the eyes and face as shown in the photo below who is two days following his surgery with much of the redness already gone.
To get a clean wound, we always wash the recipient area on the day of surgery and the following morning in our office, a perk for many of our patients. Many of our celebrities love the hair washes after the surgery so much, that they come in every day, something we are always happy to do for them.
