Regular Member JB1127 Posted August 29, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hello guys, I'm currently 7 days post op from a 1500 graft fue procedure on my hairline. I have a lot of dryness and scabbing in my recipient area and I was wondering I there was anything I can do to help that? I'm really paranoid about touching my hair because I don't wanna be to rough on the grafts but the area is extremely dry. Should I leave this alone? Can I use aloe Vera or something to help the scabbing? And at this point can I start touching the grafts more without effecting them? I have a follow up with my doctor in a couple days but I'm really trying to get this figured out soon. Thanks for the help in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also an FUE post-op instructions on SMG's website which you may find useful. I am 9 days post-op FUE at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member JB1127 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2013 So far I've stayed away from getting my hair wet under the shower. I wash my hair with a sponge twice a day with the shampoo that was given to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 At 7 days post-op you can start going under the shower and get more aggressive with the hair washing. This should help your situation. It would be very unlikely for any grafts to come out at this point.
