Hello community,
I'm at one month post-op 3000 FUE and have shed the majority of the transplanted hairs. I just had two main questions for all you guys experienced with HTs.
1. Bumpiness: around the temples, the recipient area is rather smooth. But along the hairline where there was maximized density, I'm seeing lots of small bumps (especially under direct light). Is this normal, and will these smooth out with time? I have heard of cobblestoning being an issue, but that is usually only determined when the growth phase begins, correct? Please let me know if I look abnormal or if there's any cause for concern.
2. Redness: How exactly do I go about hiding this procedure at work? I went to a Sephora (make up store) prior to my surgery, and a lady there helped me find a concealer that matched my skin tone. By concealer I don't mean fibers, but rather a makeup skin concealer to hide blemishes. I also purchased tinted mineral sunscreen in the same shade. However, I'm very reluctant to put any sort of cream/makeup/substance on my recipient area. Will those substances have a potential impact on yield or growth? I am gonna be super careful about how I treat my recipient area, but I really would like to hide the pinkness on my head during the 2-3 remaining months before growth starts.
I really appreciate your guys' help and support. Thank you!
