Concealers after HT

[chriswalkerr]

Hi,

i am having an FUT soon (and the receipient area will be shaved ) and 1 month to take off

but even after one month, because my long hair ( some that was in the shaved area and from the sides, you know ) was covering my baldness but now, will be clear to everyone that i had a HT.

 

 

i heard that using concealers can fix it but i don't know what to do and which product is recommended and if it will work in my case ( 1 inch hair on the sides and shaved area that was covered before by some hair )

 

i need your help please, what to do after one month.

Based on the above, I would not do it... However there are plenty of forum users who did use make up and it did not affect the yield.

Dear Chris,

 

My name is Nick and I work for Dr De Reys.

 

We generally advise patients not to use concealers for the first few days however after a week or so there is nothing stopping you.

 

The main factor is to allow the skin time to heal after a transplant and also not to cause any risk to the grafts by accidentally knocking them out.

 

I've written a post on this forum which talks about wearing hats, using concealers and other post-op questions.

 

You can find it here:

The doctor has also recorded a short video about concealers which you can find on his Vimeo page.

 

If you've got any more questions then let me know.

 

Nick
