Regular Member Tiquin Posted December 21, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hello guys. I've just had a HT surgery and tomorrow I'm leaving from Turkey. My doctor told me I shouldnt even touch it for 2 days. My question is...Is there any way to hide my bandaged head while Im travelling home? Bandages cover around my head but not the top... If anyone has any ideas would appreciate to hear, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member farmcat Posted December 21, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2016 Maybe a scarf (skull cap) or a "fishing" type hat? I wore a loose fitting baseball cap but had to take it off for security....no matter what, remember one thing.....you will never see any of those people in the airport again.

Regular Member adamjimmy Posted December 21, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2016 I just wore a surgical hat. Fits loosely on top and a little snug on the sides which is about what you want. Even had someone ask me if I was a surgeon at the airport. told him if I was I wouldn't be riding coach.

My clinic provided me with a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgical hat or soft bandage covering the area but not touching any grafted areas is the safest way to go. 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...
Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted December 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2016 Loosely fit surgical hat is the way to go. I wore a shower cap under mine to keep in moisture and prevent it catching on grafts. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searchofstraighthairline Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 When I traveled 2 days post-op I wore a baseball cap. Loosely fitted of course. All the pressure was on my forehead and no contact was made with the recipient area (temples only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member richter101 Posted December 23, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'd go with loosely fitted hat. Whatever you do, make sure to avoid sun (I walked around with Umbrella) and avoid irritating protection on it. It's just not worth it. I'd rather have it exposed.
