when did ht docs start recommending vit e applied to recipient area after transplant?

See subject line. I had an HT in 01/07, 06/07 and 12/11 and none of the HT docs recommended applying vit e oil to the recipient area.

 

This was recommended for my HT that I had 2 weeks ago. I can really tell that it's making a difference. I even applied some vit e oil to a semi-hypertrophic scar on my body and within 1 hour it reduced swelling by 80%.

 

I've read several other posts online recently of other doctors recommending vit e oil on the recipient area. So when did this become standard practice? And can anyone here speak to the results of a full HT cycle without vit e oil vs the results of a full HT cycle *with* vit e oil?

Dr. Hasson was recommending at least as far back as in 2010, I used it post-op after my procedure with him.

 

It may have great healing properties but I found the stickiness very hard to deal with as I have an ample amount of native hair, and because of that never used in subsequent procedures.

Seems most European FUE clinics don't recommend it as far as I remember, at least I don't recall it being on the "to use" list.
