I would add that you should not go outside during the day after your surgery due to antioxidant effects from the sun. Also not driving your car for the first year after the surgery due to the risk of car accidents, which can cause great stress. Perhaps meditating for an hour a day in a […]

The crusting is very bad, which means that your management of your scabs was not good. We rarely, if ever, see this degree of crusting. How is the scabbing in the donor area at the back of your scalp? Be very careful not to rush to take these crusts off. Use a shampoo and […]
If you wash your hair twice a day starting the next day after surgery, most of the scabs and redness should be gone and you should be left with a 1/4 inch stubble of hair on the front after 2 weeks. I suppose if you are really looking at it you may be able to […]
The scabbing can be easily addressed with good techniques and small wounds by the surgeon. Add good daily washes and most patients will have no significant crusting after the surgery. Everyone is different, but in regards to redness, only a few patients develop this. You can usually find out if you are one of them […]
Everyone experiences hair in the scabs when they come off. The key to good management is to get the scabs off immediately after the surgery. Now you should wait until the scabs come off with gentle shampooing of your hair. The hair you see in the scabs should not be the grafts, unless the grafts […]
This is not as far fetched as it seems… I once had a patient come in for a hair transplant. I believe he was a phone consultation with photos sent in beforehand. So on the day of surgery, when I washed his hair before the transplant, his entire frontal hair came off in the […]
You should really ask your doctor about the washing issue and what he/she recommends you do following your surgery. Your surgeon should’ve provided you with aftercare instructions. For my patients, I recommend gentle showers and hair washing the very next day after a hair transplant. I just saw a man from overseas who told me […]
I’m glad you enjoy the site and find it useful. Thanks for visiting and writing. I usually recommend to young men like yourself with male pattern baldness (MPB) that are interested in hair transplantation to get on Propecia for at least a few weeks before going for a surgery as you want the drug to […]
If you want a formal consultation from me, you can call (800) NEW-HAIR or send photos to this address and make time for a phone consultation. Sending pictures to BaldingBlog and having me comment on it will be just generalizations. I recommend taking the photos outside in daylight with some close-ups that wrinkle the brow […]
I do not know why your scabs would be there at a month after surgery. Just washing your hair with soap and water should’ve taken them off. I would like to know if the grafts were the large plugs, which used to produce scabs lasting 2-3 months with poor hygiene. We did a graft anchoring […]
I’m confused. You called your doctor who performed your surgery to ask about scabs, but you’re asking me if the grafts were pulled out? The problem is that you should not have waited until 3 weeks after surgery to do a proper washing of your recipient sites! Some of the hairs should be falling out […]
I am assuming that you are a male, since you didn’t specify… Your diet won’t help regrow your hairline, but a healthy diet is always good practice anyway. First, as always, you need a diagnosis. This is likely your genetics, but you are doing the right thing by seeing a dermatologist, particularly with your irritated […]
We performed a study on grafts being secure after a hair transplant by pulling our grafts on successive days. We found that at 12 days, the grafts are secure. If you were gentle on the washing technique, usually the scabs that remain will loosen easily with soap and water. I don’t think you did anything […]
I don’t know why you need this routine, but I can not find a problem with it, provided that the daily wash is done properly. I hope you received aftercare instructions from your doctor.
I do thank you for reading the site and I am more than happy to give you general information, but shouldn’t you be asking your post-surgical questions to the doctor who performed your surgery? Answering such specific and personal post-operative questions (simple as they may be) could be potentially misleading just by the fact that […]
