Follow up surgery visits

[IanD]

Hi,

How common is it to not have any follow up checks in the days after surgery?

I have my FUE transplant next week but something I completely forgot to ask about in the consultation was about reviews / post surgery checks. I see a lot of photos and people talking about going to the clinic the day after the surgery or 12 days after surgery for a check etc.

My first check after surgery is at 3 months (then 6 / 9 / 12).

Is that common? I would feel more reassured if a doctor was checking it before 3 months.. (like day 3 or 5 or 7). I know I probably don't have anything to be concerned about if I follow the after care instructions, just thought it was a bit strange, especially in the 'premium price range'.

Thanks,

Ian

Most people don't do a follow-up, as they travel, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've just been sending a monthly update to my doctor to keep him updated, but otherwise, going back in isn't crucial for the growth. It's more important not to stress and follow the after care instructions.
