How long after surgery should you use styling products/hair dryer?

[bennyt89]

My post op instructions say to avoid hairspray for 1 month after surgery. Though no mention of hair gel/wax etc.

 

What are your thoughts on how long to wait? I also like to use a hairdryer to prop my hair up a bit and make it look thicker, so not sure if there's an acceptable time to wait for that also.

I tell my patients that once all the scabs have fallen off they can resume the use products and blow dry at a cooler setting. Also be more gentle with any existing hairs in the transplanted area as they will be more fragile and can be pulled out easier than before the procedure.
