Color of Donor Scar 2 Weeks After Procedure?
I am 2 weeks post-op a 2400 FUT.The surgery was performed by a very reputable Dr. and so far I am very pleased with the results.The recipient area has healed well but I still have a very pronounced dark pink line at the donor site from ear to ear.The scar itself seems only about 1 or 2mm wide but the dark pink line is about 4 or 5mm wide and very noticeable.I went back to the clinic and the Dr. told me I wasn’t being aggressive enough with washing the donor area and advised me to use olive oil to soften the area and lift off the secretion.Is the secretion causing the wide pink line and when can I expect this to look less noticeable?
After two weeks, what you are describing is not abnormal. Some people keep a red/pink color to the surrounding wound. This will become better over the next few weeks. Sounds like you doctor is giving you reasonable advice.
