Vitamin E Oil use question

[hair_me_out]

Question: Is there such a thing as applying too much Vitamin E oil at one time to the recipient area? Or does that not matter?

 

Also, is Vit E oil recommended for use on the donor area? If so, when?

 

Thanks,

HMO

I only recommend for patients to use Vitamin E oit in the donor area. I feel that the instruments used to make the recipient sites during the surgical procedure are so small they really should not cause any visible scarring.

Great post, Dr. Charles!

 

Would it do harm if it was in the recipient area though?

Dry the donor area (stitches) in the back of the head with a clean towel.

 

• Drip Vitamin E oil ONLY on the recipient area; do not use your fingers. Make sure all the grafts are covered with Vitamin E oil
  
• Apply Polysporin ointment on donor area (scar) 2 times a day for 2 weeks. After the stitches are removed keep applying Polysporin on the scar for another 4 or 5 days.
  
• Repeat all steps one more time in the evening.
