Regular Member Kkat Posted October 8, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hi all. Im 7 days post op. Everythign is fine. Still swelling. I swelled up alot, but it was just an annoyance. Have not needed any pain killers or anything like that . Simply cleaning area, all looks ok. Did my first post op check up and all is well. Sux sleeping upright, but what the hell. Swelling hopefully gone by tomorrow. Staples getting a bit annoying, but nothing that is killing me. kkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Belgiumdude Posted October 8, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hi, im sure the swelling will be over soon and in a few days it is: bye bye staples, must be a big relief. Have you by any chance had the opportunity to take some pics? I would love to see what 90grafts/cm2 looks like. Best of luck. Greetz.

Regular Member Kkat Posted October 19, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2003 hey. havent been on for a while. i am now 3 weeks post op. scabbing is there (been putting lots of vit e oil on scalp) i have not put my head under a shower and will not for another week. doing a much more conservative washing approach so i get proper healing of all grafs. do not want any to fall out, get dammaged, etc etc i have been taking a very conservative approach with washing, etc. i will for one more week wash with shampoo and water (using a cup to pour it on slowly), then my medication plus minoxidil after letting my hair air dry, then vitamin e oil. been doing this for 3 weeks, and everything looks good so far. healing is good. i have the staples out (minor irritance) and good small scar. have some numbness back there, and it is supposed to go way by 6 month mark other than that, ill keep you posted.

Senior Member NC30 Posted October 19, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2003 I was realllly paranoid about touching my grafts post-op and doing everything just right.....but you're definitely good to go as far as showers are concerned. The grafts are in and arent going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
