Can we use Toppik immediately after an transplant?

Sorry - I posted this initially in the wrong forum.

 

I just got my 2nd HT done with Dr. Shapiro the other day. Got about 2600 grafts - filled in mostly the crown area and some on the front. To place the grafts on the front, Dr Shapiro had cut my hair on the front very short. I was initially hoping to cover my native hair on these transplants on the front so the grafts would not be visible. But with the hair being cut so short. I don't have that option. Since i need to get back to work in a week's time, is it safe to use toppik over the grafted areas about 7 days after the transplant? can anyone offer any other suggestions?

Thanks

Trend,

 

At 7-10 days the grafts will be seated and majority of the scabs will likely be gone. IMO I would be concerned about infection and/or scalp irritation so soon after the HT. I guess you can try and see?? Maybe others who have used a concealer soon after HT can post. You might just try calling the Doc for an opinion.
