My old hair

[reen3]

guys

 

Last night I was thinking if my doctor place the transplant hair graft on my exisiting hair, does my old hair still grow back in three month? or they are damaged?

 

Since I have done my transplant surgey over seas its hard for me to reach out to my doctor I have ask you fine folks my questions.

 

thanks.

A hair follicle can be damaged if an incision for a graft is made too close to it or on top of it, but a skilled surgeon will be careful not to do this.

I'm new to this forum but I have wondered abotu this question before. I'm glad I stumbled upon this answer.

Thank you mattj!

A portion of any original hairs that have fallen out in the transplanted area will grow back in 3-6 months. Some of the weaker/miniaturized hairs that were getting ready to fall out on their own may not grow back.

after how many days pass my transplant I can start taking regular showers?

Hi Reen3,

 

If speaking directly with your physician is difficult....perhaps, you could email them. I am sure they would be pleased to answer any questions that you may have.

 

You will find lots of information and support on this forum.

 

Your clinic's postop instructions may differ slightly from what we tell our patients....but, hopefully, you will find it helpful to know that we ask our patients on days 7-9 to shower but not let the jets hit the recipient area (grafts) directly.

 

Day 10 is when Dr Simmons feels that it is safe for our patients to shower normally. Patients can rub the crusts firmly, but are asked not to pick any of the crusts.

 

I do hope this helps.
