Regular Member simple14 Posted February 12, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Guys, I just had my second ht from Pakistan and it was a mega session including crown work. It was FUT+FUE 4000+ grafts as they claimed. I am now over one month since i had ht but swelling above donor area not going away. I been to my surgeon and he said nothing to worry and gave me some anti swelling caps which helped little bit. But after completed the course swelling still there my graft area is fine and no itching or swelling there, there is like a bump above the stitches area and i feel its spreading and going up to the crown I am back to UK now and made my appointment with my local doctor. Just wanted to know if any one experiencing the same and its not dangerous ie grafts etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted February 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 You should not have ANY swelling at this point. Your grafts should be fine, but I'd be very concerned about the swelling from a pure health standpoint. Get to your doctor immediately.

Regular Member simple14 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi hairthere Thanks for your reply yes i made an appointment with my local gp here in UK but its on 19th. Just to mention i using warm hat would this cause swelling. Also when i wash my head swelling reduce but when i wake up in the morning it increases. Do i need to see my gp in emergency cos i am worried now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted February 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 What has your HT doctor said about this? You definitely want to be seen as soon as possible.

Regular Member simple14 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 He said its normal and no need to worry sometimes it takes time and also advised that put pillow under my neck and sleep which is very hard and after a month i think i should not be using pillow under my neck and sleep. Although swelling reduces then increases and anti swelling meds helped little bit and washing head helps and give a lot of comfort but swelling not going away completely.

Senior Member hairthere Posted February 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who is your surgeon? The fact that he's telling you swelling after a month is normal seems way off to me.
