'What does 2 weeks post-op look like?' - Dr De Reys, 1500 grafts FUE

NickBaron · March 25, 2015

My name is Nicholas Baron and I work for Dr De Reys.

Patients would often like to know how they'll look in the first few weeks after a transplant.

Immediately after a transplant, the area may be raw however the grafts themselves 'set' very fast.

Still its wise to wait a week before washing the hair although we supply all patients with a range of high strength Aloe Vera tonics, salves and creams to get through the first weeks and make sure everything is healing properly.

Small crusts usually form around the hair and after the first wash, it's ok to start very gently kneading and massaging the crusts to help them drop off.

They will drop off on their own anyway although a little light massage definitely does not hurt them provided you're careful.

Patient Case

Dr De Reys performed FUE on a patient who presented with light hair loss in the temples. He was treated in a single day.

Treatment plan:

Day 1: 1500 Grafts

All grafts were stored using HyperThermosol.

The patient was very happy with the result and sent in photos after two weeks.

Pre-op:

After two weeks:
