Regular Member JonesESQ Posted February 6, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey guys, I'm ending week 2 of my 2500 graft FUT transplant. I'm removing the staples tonight (I'm a few days behind because my friend whose a nurse wasn't available). Anyways, I'm going to shave the rest of the hair off my head and I wanted to know if were any tips as far as when the clippers approach the donor scar and the boarder of my current hair and the transplant area. Many thanks. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted February 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 At this point in time you are probably healing pretty well right? But here's the thing. If you shave your scalp, the strip scar is going to show and it even may be a little red or dark pink. The donor scar is still going to be very sensitive and sore at this point in time. Are you sure you want to do this? Personally, I would wait if it was me. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member Spanker Posted February 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 Be gentle and careful would be my only tip. And run it by your doc.

Regular Member JonesESQ Posted February 6, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 Doc said it was ok. I did it last night, it was pretty simple. The scar doesn't bother me at all really. I am healing well but the sheer amount hair that is falling out from meet starting finesteride/shock loss from the transplant... kind of freaks me out, for my own sanity I just buzzed it.

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2014 Everything will grow back along with the grafts. You should be just fine Josh but it just takes time...
