Is there anything you can do post-op after grafts are anchored to affect yield?

Once the grafts are in after say, 2 weeks, is there anything negatively you can do to affect yield or is there anything you shouldn't do?

 

I assume you obviously want to be careful in the sun for a few months and not get the area sunburned. However, anything in terms of tight hats, scalp massages, shaving your head, etc?

Hey Matt,

 

Aside from cutting/scraping down into your scalp, experiencing a severe burn, or using corrosive chemicals on the scalp? No, not really. The grafts are permanent once they anchor. Try to follow your clinic's post-operative instructions carefully. You'll be just fine!

 

Good luck.

Hey Blake, on that note, when you say grafts are permanent once they anchor, do you mean they are as permanent as non transplanted (established) hairs?
