Below are four patients (two of them are ours, two of them are not). The first reflects our transplant technique where we have focused heavily on what a patient would look like after they leave the office. This patient is just a few minutes after her surgery was performed. We wash the recipient site when she […]

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 […]
This patient had an FUE 5 days earlier. What I want our readers to note, is that there is not only no crusting on the recipient area, but the donor area is completely healed, I get emails frequently which show terrible crusting after a hair transplant in the recipient area. I tell everyone our routine, […]
Any hair transplant should be treated the same with regard to the recipient area, but if the donor area has open wounds (FUE), it requires daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to […]
This patient with frontal balding (Class 3A pattern) had surgery 4 days ago. He has black hair and white skin, making the grafts very obvious, but as I always tell my patients, keep their hair long so that they could get good camouflage for the grafts, and so that is what these photos of a […]
I do not understand the basis of your “horror”. Please follow up with your doctor. In general many patients take pain medication on the day or even during surgery. This includes NSAIDS. In general NDAIDS have a slight bleeding risk.
I am certain that we did not do your hair transplant as our patients are devoid of any major scabs after about a week if washed twice a day. More importantly we make every effort to educate our patients of what to expect. In fact, my wife (Mrs. Rassman) had a hair transplant in the […]
I could write a book about this subject. Many years ago when larger grafts were used, it was impossible to hide a hair transplant because the wounds were large (between 3 and 5 mm). Large wounds, are obvious and at the time that these were done (late 1980s and early 1990s) the typical patient had […]
Many patients ask how their hair will look like after surgery. In general you can get redness and scabs for about one to two weeks depending on how well you wash your hair. This particular patient healed well and there is no significant redness of scabbing after 10 days! More interesting is the fact he […]
Click the photos to enlarge: It looks like you have crusting from the transplant (this is usually gone on our patients in a few days) and the crusting has caused an infection. You need to see a doctor and get this treated, even if it is not your transplant surgeon. You should wash your […]
Please follow up with your doctor on aftercare instructions. Every doctor is different with the post-surgical care. I do not now what you really did or if the grafts were actually lost. I’m not sure what you should be doing after your surgery, as I was not your surgeon and don’t know anything about your […]
The glues can cause damage to existing hair, but it shouldn’t cause problems with a hair transplant surgery as long as you don’t continue to use it after the procedure. Ask your doctor what they recommend in terms of your preparation and post-surgery concerns, as every doctor is different.
These are questions you should pose to your surgeon. It seems that you didn’t get proper aftercare instructions. I always recommend a washing routine starting on the day following surgery; however, it seems that you did not do this. You might have an infection, so see your doctor to have that checked out.
It’s not hair loss related, but I also post cancer related news items here from time to time… Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Longer tamoxifen use reduces breast cancer recurrence
Grafts could come out at the 3rd day after your surgery, so if there are many then you could have a problem. I don’t know about your management of your recipient area after surgery. I generally recommend a specific washing procedure starting the next day after surgery and this keeps the eschars (scabs) down. Leave […]
