Regular Member chantal Posted May 28, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2009 Dr Rahal is a lot more conservative than most doctors. If I remember correctly : Wash hair twice a day but not directly under the shower for the first 30 days. I mixed baby shampoo in a cup of water and poored it gently on my head...no massaging of the recipient area. Vitamin E oil on recipient area until sutures are out. Sutures were out after 14 days. You can then massage the donor area but lightly. Aloe vera on recepient area helps with the redness and itchiness (the pulp not the gooey stuff if using a real plant) Started washing normally and massaging 30 days after surgery..I remember how I couldn't wait for those 30 days to go by.. When pimples appear (2nd or 3rd month), apply witch hazel or hot compresses. First 3 months: patience required as shockloss may occur and you may look worst than before surgery. I wore a hat or headband for exactly 4 months...but I'm a female and I looked strange with long hair and a brushcut on top of my head! Fourth month: things start happening... I'm now at the sixth month mark and it's looking good! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member imissthebarber Posted May 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2009 You had a big session there dude so I would be more cautious and leave the staples in longer if possible. Check with your doc about this. For example Bill recently left his in for 3.5 weeks in order to do all he could to get a thinner scar (admittedly he was a repeat candidate and the risk is higher after the first surgery). A few more days of discomfort is worth it to reduce any risk of scar stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest comb Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm sure Dr Wong has already specified when BT's staples should be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
