Hi Guys,
I have recently had a hair transplant in Australia. I had the operation about 48 hours ago and I have been told by my doctor to not wash or remove any blood from the donor or transplanted area until Tuesday which is about 5-6 days after surgery. He told me to keep the blood on the scalp as it will help the area heal. I have not been given any spray to keep the transplanted area wet which is what I see most clinics do. The doctor transplanted my hair using the FUE technique and did it all manually by hand. He did 500 grafts per day and I got 1500 grafts over a 3 day period. I am stressed if I do not clean or take any of the dry blood off my scalp I may get an infection or my grafts may be damaged, I was told by someone that they think my grafts may be damaged already. Here is a picture I took 10 minutes ago. I am very stressed and I want to be given the right advice. I have listened to my doctor but I want to make sure leaving the blood and not washing it wont affect anything. Any help would be appreciated!
