[tudare]

I had my hair transplant on may 7th and went to barber today, I told him to use machine number 1 on my side burns and he went all the way up to my transplanted temples. Will this have any affect ? should I be worried ? please help

Since it’s been a month, I think it will be fine. But let’s hear from the professionals.

no effect on HT results. its just your hair strands thats trimmed and by 1 month hair follicles underneath are well secured. Hair strand getting trimmed also doesnt matter anyways as you would have shed most of them by next few weeks.

@tudare,

Don’t worry, there will be no negative effects on your hair transplant.  7 to 10 days after hair transplant surgery, the hair follicles are fully secured underneath the surface of the scalp and are essentially just like the rest of your natural hairs. As a result, cutting them or even shaving them won’t do any damage to the hair folliclesvunderneath the surface of the scalp and therefore, the hair will grow back.

Best wishes,

@Rahal Hair Transplant - is it safe after 10 days to wear a cap then after hp?

 

I was always courious about the bandanas after surgery process and it's safetiness or when can i trim/shave the whole head after surgery visiting a barber.

@tudare after one month don't even worry - it would be a problem if your barber would shave you like maybe fiew weeks earlier

I actually had this same anxiety myself a few months ago. I was 4 months post-op and my barber used a straight razor to shave off some transplanted grafts for some reason. I was really nervous about it and was wondering if that would damage the grafts. 

As nerve-wracking as it may be, you just have to understand that grafts/follicles are underneath the skin. Nothing that happens above the skin would affect the grafts, including shaving the grafts to the skin.

What type of idiots would cut or shave areas that you did not request?…😟

My surgeon told me that in general should use scissors after transplant for haircuts until recipient really comes in, I think because of less risk of folliculitis?
