Thank you! It's normal the hair fall with the scabs 15 days post-op, right? My clinic is in another city, so I can't personally visit it these days, but I'm talking frequently with my doctor by phone. But this forum helps with a lot of good information. Usually, I only have to worry when the scabs fall with blood, right? If the fall with the hair, it's ok...

Hello, My HT completed 15 days today. As recommended by my doctor, I used some baby oil on the scabs and wait 30-45 minutes to start "touching it". My doubts are: How do I know if I did something wrong? I was touching the scabs until they fall, and some did it easily, and some hardly. I know I lost one of the scabs, since it bled a little bit, but all the others were ok (no blood, ugly thing with the small hairs - not all the scabs had hairs). Apparently, everything is ok? It's normal the hair go with the scab? I should only worry if it bleed, right? Thanks!

Even with sunblocker in the recipient area? And about the gym... I can't do any exercise? Even Push-ups?

Usually, how long after a HT I'm able to go to the beach? And the gym?

PS: Sorry by the abscence of technical terms, but I'm english is not my mother language. Let's say that a patient has a "bad hair". He has lots of bald/balding spots, but some good hair in the middle of it (this hair will definitly fall, some day). If the patient wants, he can do a large transplant, all over his head (at least top/front), putting some new hair over the "old hair that someday will fall"? It affects the % of transplanted grafts that will "be attached" to the scalp? How it affects the HT? PS: Sorry by the lack of technical terms, but english is not my mother language.

Man... Life is hard... and long. Don't get a hair transplant right now... You are young, it will get worse. That's the truth. Some meds can make it slow down, but, some time, it will definitly get at least a bit worse... You don't wan't to do a HT now and, sometime in the future, get hostage of a hat or toppik and similars. Be confident, go to the gym, make yourself feel better of somehow. I did a hair transplant at your age and I have my regrets. You can look for some stories (awful, btw) at this forum that will make you change your mind. In my opinion, if you want to do a HT, do it when an entire area of your scalp is "lost". Crown, front, middle, whatever... Do it when it will make a serious and permanent change in your look, not when it will be temporary (2, 3 years from now your natural hairline will suffer a bigger recession and it will be all worthless). It sucks? Yes. It sucks. But like I said, compensate it somehow. You win a bit here, lose a bit there, but don't fuck your life.

SMP isnt permanent?

Usually, when shock-loss occurs? 3 to 5 weeks post-op?
