Post OP FUE

[frederick12]

I'm reading through the forums, I was curious based on other who have had an FUE iif you need a caregiver with you after the procedure?

No you don't need a caregiver. I had my operation in another country alone and just made sure the house was full of food when I got back so I didn't have to leave. Then after a week I was able to go outside with a cap

You don't need a caregiver, FUE heals rapidly, and within a few days the donor feels normal. You may get some residual stinging or burning sensation as the nerves begin to heal, but there isn't anything that you can't do yourself.

You don’t need a care giver but remember to take any pain relievers your doctor gives you prior to feeling discomfort from the procedure when the anesthesia begins to wear off.  Stay ahead of any residual pain that may result from the surgery.  It’s a mild discomfort but you will be glad you took the meds.  I weened off the pain meds to just ibuprofen pretty quickly.
