Senior Member guyfromsydney Posted November 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2007 From some of what i have seen, HTs look pretty nasty in the weeks following the operation. Did anyone in the weeks following their HT wear a bandage on their head when they went out? Or do you think thats overkill? What did u guys tell people?

Senior Member MrJobi Posted November 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2007 Guy there are no bandages, just stiches in the donor area and the scabs in the HT area. After about 14 days both are gone leaving a healing scar and some pinkness. Both of these can be concealed ( if your surrounding hair is present) with some concealer.

Senior Member hairbank Posted November 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2007 Most people stay in the house for the first few days, after that, a hat will do. Then, as was mentioned, for most, after 2 weeks, you should be able to be to the point where it's not that noticable. I returned to work at just under 2 weeks and no one ever knew. One things for sure, we're way more concerned with how we look than others. If you play it down and blow off any stray comments about short hair or whatever, people usually forget about you then second you walk away.

Senior Member EmuSteve Posted November 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hmm. Say you can wear a hat to work. How soon would you be able to go back? -Steve I don't work for a doctor. Got 2700 fu from Ron Shapiro, 11-30-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 gfs, I wore a hat or a bandana a lot when I went out. Being that after my third surgery I shaved my head - at work I would either wear a loose fitting hat or just expose my shaved head to the world. Yes, my scar was exposed. I suppose because I knew it was temporary I didn't care as much - but a few people asked me about it. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
