What day will the scabs fall off??

If I remember correctly after my first procedure you can shower regularly at the 10 day mark so I assume you can put the water on a higher pressure to help remove the scabs - is this ok?

you really need to take your surgeons advice, but I think the assumption is after 10-14 days the grafts are more or less permanent. I waited a little longer, just washed my hair more often and lots of vit E oil seemed to do the trick. If in Doubt contact your surgeon!!!! good luck

Like tommy said, follow your docs instructions.

 

Some scabs were still around for me at the three week mark.

I was advised that the grafts can be dislodged the first 9 days and at day 10 I could scrub the crusts off.

Dr. Cooley said at day 7, you can wash normally. use finger tips (not nails) to massage and try to remove the scabs.

 

Like Tommy said, follow your doctor instructions. Note that keeping the scabs and baby treat your grafts for a longer period than required do not necessary mean it is better.
