Scalp Exercises After First Hair Transplant

[Dwight]

I had just over 4000 grafts in June 2012.

 

When can I commence scalp exercises in preparation for another Hair Transplant?

 

The scar is still tender to touch.

 

Scalp exercises stretch the scalp (duh).

 

Hence you do not want to "stretch" the scar.

 

Is the soonest one year after the surgery?

 

Thanks

Hi Dwight, one of the senior advisers here will best answer the scalp stretching question... I just wanted to query the tenderness bit... Not sure it should still be tender after so long? I guess everyone is different but I have no tenderness at all, basically back to norm now- and my HT was at the end of aug. is it ok, i.e. not infected?

I appreciate your comment on tenderness.

 

After the surgery I thought parts of the scar were infected - a bit.

 

I kept gently cleaning.

 

After your observation (infection) I "tested" the entire length of scar.

 

Most of the scar is "tender-free".

 

There are some areas that yield the tender comment.

 

I will double up on the hair washing.

 

I will post a new topic on rubbing in Cocoa Butter which may have contributed to this "tender problem".
