Fue in donor scar with hat

[goldstar2011]

Hey. Just curious as to how would u wear a hat if u had an fue procedure with the grafts placed into the scar. Is it possible?

I don't see why a hat would effect anything. Couldn't wear a hat immediately after procedure if that's what your asking.

If the hat is going to potentially rub against and dislodge recently transplanted grafts, I certainly wouldn't risk wearing a hat until at least 9-10 days post-op when your follicles become completely anchored. Anything before that, could cause your grafts to come out prior to them being permanently anchored in your scalp. Each physician has different recommendations....so I would talk to your physician to see what he or she recommends. Frankly, I wouldn't take the chance.......or I would wear an extremely loose-fitting hat that didn't touch the graft site at all. Hope that helps......

You definitely want to wait until the grafts have healed and all of the scabs have fallen off. At that time you would not be doing any harm.
