Regular Member richter101 Posted October 23, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yea.. I would highly recommend you take your surgeons advice. I have the best relationship with mine and when it comes to post-op questions I'd only expect him when it comes to having all the answers. Hopefully you trust yours just as much Richter101 is a former patient of Dr. Parsa Mohebi Born Oct ’89 Began Seeing Gradual Hair Loss Oct ’09 Began Seeing Gradual Hair Gain June ’15 My regimen includes: HT #1 2200 (ARTAS- FUE) grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in 2016 Finasteride daily, since 2014 Rogaine experimenter from 2012- ’13 RIP Planning HT #2 By End of This Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted October 24, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2016 I agree with the consensus above, stay away from a razor cut. The donor area heals quickly but be very careful. Yes....check with your doctor. Best of luck, you have a lot to look forward to. Keep us informed.

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Van, Shaving your head with clippers at this point is fine, especially the donor area. I literally shaved my head all the way down to a 1 clip 4 days after surgery although I was very careful not to hurt myself, especially since I had FUT surgery and still had staples in my head. But to me, shaving my scalp made everything cleaner and easier to maintain. So be careful and don't be rough on the scalp, but you should be fine. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
