Regular Member donni Posted February 26, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi Sorry for my bad english I have a question when we do a HT surgery, I read that some doctors recommend to do a shampoo the day after a surgery and once a day during 2 weeks. others recommend to wait 2 days before doing the the first shampoo other said we need to wait 4 four days Doctor like dr bernstein or Rassman recommend to do 3 shampoo a day after after the surgery during 1 week It is very confused to me What is the best regarding the shampoo after a HT?

Regular Member Badboi Posted February 26, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2014 Most doctors recommend washing hair on the third day. What did your doctor say? Follow his recommendation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted February 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) If at all possible I would let the clinic do the first couple washes and cleaning, and don't touch at all by yourself for the first 48 hours except for spray bottle misting. Stay at a local hotel if possible for this. Then after that time very carefully use the cup and water technique of lightly "placing" shampoo and rinsing off by pouring water over the non treated area (no direct rubbing of grafted area) for 7-10 days. After 7-10 days very lightly shampoo and massage but no hard scrubbing, to remove the scabs/crusts. Most docs recommendations seem to say you can go back to your normal shampoo routine after 14 days, except Dr. Rahal who says 1 month. Btw, unless you sweat a lot once a day should be fine. I've had good results with returning to normal after 14 days and being very careful for first 7-10 days. good luck and remember the first 10 days and sticking to your surgeons instructions are the most critical part for good results Edited February 27, 2014 by hsrp10 go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member donni Posted March 12, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2014 I went to SMG, and dr shapiro said it is fine to shampoo first day after surgery in the morning. But dr bernstein says to shampoo 3 times see After FUT Hair Transplant Surgery & Post-op Instructions | Bernstein Medical Why there is no common consensus about shampoo? is there a survey to analyze the best way to shampoo?

Senior Member rev333 Posted March 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2014 Why there is no common consensus about shampoo? is there a survey to analyze the best way to shampoo? can't answer the WHY's only that there is not one so that leaves us to LISTEN TO OUR DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS exclusively Been through one myself and i can tell you the LESS YOU DO TO THE GRAFTS IN THE FIRST WEEK, THE BETTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
