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?

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.

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

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...
