One word of caution, get the barber to use a higher guard initially to evaluate how the scarring looks. You can always cut more hair off. 

Actually I was thinking the same way, glad you mentioned it ! Thank you very much

Ahhh YES, definitely go get a haircut. A nice, low fade would be ideal... Or anything to even it out. That's gonna make you feel way better and more confident about it, and will give you a more accurate depiction of how things are healing. 

Also, don't be surprised if it takes a few months before the donor evens itself back out. While it technically heals pretty fast, it can still take a few months for the density to start to look more even - particularly if there's any temporary shock loss in that area. Mine got increasingly better over the first 8 months or so after my HT. 

Oh thank you so much. Now I’m sure I go for a haircut the following days, I was afraid if it’s makes the situation even worse if I get one. And it doesn’t look even and dense and I think it’s a common concern because nobody would like to have a bad looking donor area, we all of course want a good result with minimum harm. I hope after a couple months, if I get a nice low fade atm it won’t be noticeable anymore I had a Hauttransplantation, at least for the donor side, the Recipient will take more time for sure

Yeah no problem getting a hair cut in the donor area... just where the grafts have been placed they typically suggest refraining from fussing with that area. 

Thank you 🙏 so I decided to go to barbershop in couple days, do you think my donor area will look undetectable after a couple more months?

A fade would be the way to go.

So I can do a fade at current time, without being worried to damage something ? And do you think, my donor will look better again after a couple months more ? 

Hello to everyone. I am currently 1 month after my Hairline transplant, which required 2300 grafts. My donor area looks like on the pictures, it’s still itchy from time to time and I feel it’s a bit sensitive still. One concern I have is does it look overharvested ? Or am I worrying to much at 1 month mark?  The Worries come from all people telling, that after 2 weeks the donor area should be completely fine and healed. Would be very sad if it’s stays like this, hopefully I will be able to rock short back and sides again 🥹… My main question is can I get a haircut in the back of my head so it doesn’t look this uneven, and people constantly asking me why the half of my back is full and the other looks like the barber was drunk 😅 this makes me feel insecure every time.

would be pleased for any help. Thanks 😊 

PS: I now I could ask the patient follow up by my clinic, but their answer was: „don’t worry it’s fine, just wait“ , so I thought I will ask other people too, because it’s easy to say don’t worry 😅 if ykwim…

According to Dr. Rassman, who is a great HT authority and a HT pioneer, you can assume almost any type of exercise 3 days post op in case of FUE. Me too, I am a gymnast and started my handstand routine 7 days post op. I didn't have any issues, might have even improved the blood circulation in the head. Just be mindful not to hit your head against something... but 4 weeks post op you are totally fine.

Oh I’m so happy to hear that , especially from a gymnast who had an HT🙏 Thank you so much

You’ll be bumping that head a lot. Would definitely speak to your doc

Hey thank you a lot 🙏 I understand your concern, I don’t wanna sound arrogant, anything can happen, but I’m on a high level, I can do handstands on one arm and wouldn’t even be afraid to do it on the end of a roof top. So my main fear is not to bump the head, but the blood pressure in the head.

After an FUE procedure you are fine. All the best!

Thank you 🙏

4 weeks post op you're likely ok... did you have FUT or FUE? Grafts are all healed and in there solid at 4 weeks so I don't see an issue from my understanding. 

Thanks for replying man ! I had FUE

Hello to everyone, I have a question the answer which for I never was able to find on internet. It is advised to rest at least 4-6 weeks before hitting the gym again. That’s fine, those the same rule count for gymnasts too. What I mean isn’t just stretching. More like Handstands, and ring routines, where you are going upside down. Might the blood pressure raise or bloss flow to the head. Do you think is ok to do handstands after 4 Weeks post OP ? 
Thanks for any advice 🙏
 

Sorry for bad formulated question what I meant is. Does the same rules (gym ) apply to gymnastics exercises like handstands etc.

Yep what Gatsby said... you're gonna be ok... but dang I def understand the worry with it after wacking her head like that and having to deal with all that. But you're good bud, rest easy.

I feel relief 😮‍💨🙏 Thank you !

You may have had a good bang on the head but don't worry. You are more than two weeks post op and this would not have damaged the grafts anymore than your native grafts. You're fine but I understand the concern. All the best!

I feel so much more relaxed after this, thanks 🙏

Oh no! That sounds awful and I definitely understand the panic. I think doing this very thing after a HT is one of the biggest anxieties for us post-op.

Echoing the others (and your doctor) and letting you know that the grafts are extremely secure and you didn't damage them. By two weeks post-op at the latest, those grafts are locked in... So you're good! 

Thank you so much, I feel know even better after reading it 🙏😅

Hello Community, on the 16 day after my hairline transplant unfortunately I hit my head against a Shelf just on the Recipient area. There was some blood and this made me panic. I contacted my surgeon, and he said I should be fine on 16 day it’s the same as if I would hit my head normally without having transplant done. I had a small skin rupture, which for I was adviced to go to the next ambulance for cleaning and disinfecting. The doctor applied a little bit wound glue on the 1 cm spot, and said not to worry. I know my surgeon said already it should not be a huge problem but I’m still really worried, so I decided to ask if anyone who is experienced with this topic, can tell by the pictures ( first just after hitting my head/ second after doctor cleaned it ) if it will affect  the final result, and maybe hairs/density will be lost ? 
thanks
