Post Operative Care to be taken

[prasad5]

Hi Everybody,

 

After reading a lot of people's expereinces with HT I made a brave decision to get it done for myself 1 month back.

I am from India and I got it done in Chennai, India.

 

I thought I will post my experience with HT esp related to post operative developments.

 

Please help me keep this thread alive by posting your expereinces.

 

I got my HT done in the front and sides, I needed 1900 Grafts.

 

During the 1st week after HT, I had dried blood all over the transplant region

I took great care with Betadine and covered my scalp.

During the 2nd week, I saw the dried region falling off like any other wound.

 

During the 3rd week, I saw bubbles/pimples all over my forehead but HT scalp was safe.

 

During 4th week, I saw some of the pimples appearing on my scalp too, like acne pimples

 

 

I am also here to ask from other's about their expereinces.

 

Specifically about acne/pimples appearing on the HT scalp, Is this how it works? is this normal? anything to worry?

 

Please help me out.

 

Thanks a lot

Hello Prasad,

 

Have you done FUT or FUE, Is Dr. Ramachandran good enough to consult and do hair transplant with? I'm also planning to perform HT in India, but am unaware of the places to go, please let me know your experience. If you do it with photo, I'll really appreciate that.

I would follow your doctors post op instructions as closely as possible . If you are not sure about something call your doctor or try to go in for a follow up visit .

Prasad,

 

Your older posts do not seem to have any images at all. I have tried to look at it, many times. Can any one suggest their opinion about Drs. in apollo.

Hi Prasad,

Following is my post HT experience.

More than 4000 grafts on hairline and top part. Im on 16th day post my HT. I didn't have any acne any part of my face post my HT. I think it varies person to person. I had a badly swollen face but with no pain. I had almost no blood in the HT area.The HT area recovered quite fast, almost normal in 3 days. Swelling went off only on 6th day. My donor area is still sore after 16 days. Recipient area has fully recovered now. Wish you all the best for your recovery. Consult your doctor for any special care. Make sure you dont touch the recipient area for 2 weeks.
