Regular Member OneHairLeft Posted November 19, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ok, so I am going to be a long ways from home getting a HT of 3500 grafts. I want to pretty much baby the newly transplanted hair and take no risk of messing it up post op, staying in a hotel to recover one day and then flying home. My concern is that of course I would like to wear a hat but the more I think of it it seems that the hat could damage something. I think I am just going to hang out in private a lot when I get home so that I won't feel compeled to wear a hat and risk messing up my HT. Am I off base here or right on track? What did you wear on your head the next day or even right when leaving the clinic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member OneHairLeft Posted November 19, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2011 Maybe a loose bandana would work, not really my style but it seems better than any hat.

Regular Member Chael Posted November 20, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted November 20, 2011 you can wear a hat so long as its not tight... included in the post op pack was a police style blue hat with "under construction" written on the front i made sure for the first few days if i had to wear a hat i would wear it very loose and not have it pressed down on my scalp. truckie style hats are quite good for this as they have plenty of room on the top of the hat that will never touch your head.

Senior Member hairthere Posted November 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2011 I walked out of Dr. Feller's office wearing nothing but the bandage. There was really no chance of bumping into anyone I knew. When I got home I just rushed into my apartment and stayed underground until the swelling went away. There's no reason to risk those precious grafts.
