Regular Member FenderPlayer Posted August 15, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 15, 2008 I had my first HT this past tuesday and was just curious - how long is it generally an annoyance to sleep on the staples?

Senior Member badger_01 Posted August 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2008 Congrats on the HT! I had sutures but it was still an annoyance. It gets better everyday but honestly i only started sleeping normally when they were out at day 10. - badger 3279 grafts with Dr Gabel - 06/12/08 My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Gabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Smoothy Posted August 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2008 Apply ice to the donor to "numb" it. This will help with the stamples. Also keep moist with saline or Graphcyte so they are removed easy without much scabbing. Liquid Advil also works well before bed.

Regular Member Monza Posted August 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2008 I kept my staples in for a full 14 days and they were annoying the whole time. Actually, it was mainly the last few days. Once the recipient area started healing and things were looking a bit normal, it was the staples that were took the brunt of my attention. The good news is that 10-14 days (the typical time staples are kept in) is very short in the grand scheme of things. They were easy to remove; I did them myself. And that first night after removal it felt great to wash my hair properly and sleep a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Tubs Posted August 17, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2008 Fenderplayer I am on day 9, the staples do get easier to sleep with, I took Tylenol before I went to bed for the first 5/6 days, I think this helped to take the edge off discomfort. I now sleep normally with staples in. Tubs ======================= 3,500 grafts - Dr Feller - 08/08/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
