Can you wear a hat after an FUE hair transplant?

Lot of hat threads recently. I wore a hat when I went out starting the day after my procedure, just made sure that it didn't touch the grafts. At 12 days post-op you will be fine. If you have any concerns talk to your doctor.

And at least there are no sutures or potential stretching of the strip scar to contend with.

try out several and make sure they don't rub or tug on the grafted area, it will depend on the size and shape of your head

I'm not sure if it wise though if you've had temple points done, most baseball caps inevitably rub the temples a bit

go dense or go home

i had a hat on from the very next day, no problems whats so ever.... just make sure its loose and not a wool hat. I had a flatcap myself.

 

When placing it on your head make sure you put it on from front to back i.e put it on your forehead first and then the rest of your head, similarly when taking it off, do so from the back first..... you dont want to damage the grafts!
