Regular Member George Clooney Posted January 20, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2022 For those of you that have had strip surgery and had to fly to your surgeon, how many days after the procedure did you wait till you flew back home? Any tips for post-operative recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2022 I didn’t get a strip surgery, but I flew halfway around the world. My suggestion is to give yourself at least 4-5 days. You can use a surgical cap in the airplane and airport. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

I have heard some people here say 2 weeks I think for strip? Sutures come out at 4 days and staples at 2 weeks? I know this varies from doc to doc but was just wondering what people's experiences were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say at least 2 weeks. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.
