Senior Member Myles23 Posted October 25, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Hi All, Firstly, thank you to the person(s) responsible for this informative platform to allow people like myself to educate, follow and be inspired by peoples hair loss journeys. Its been both insightful and humbling, that people can collectively share a space to discuss hair loss without the stigma or ridicule attached. As I'm new to this platform, id like to draw off peoples own experience / knowledge in terms of pre and aftercare tips, to give myself a chance of achieving the best possible result. I have booked by procedure with Fuecapilar in February next year with Dr. Turan, roughly 2500 grafts for the frontal area and temples. I have undergone an FUT procedure before in the UK however it wasn't great (also due to my failings) and another is required to increase density. Being honest, I could have done more in terms in of preparation and aftercare. Could anyone recommend their best tips in response to the below. 1. Any recommended shampoos, supplements etc after the procedure? 2. Any recommended oils etc to assist with the donor healing 3. Any guidance when I can apply my combined Topical minoxidil and topical finasteride spray after the procedure. I was thinking of taking oral finasteride in the 10 day period before the procedure and two weeks after and ceasing with the topical just to keep the finasteride in my system, even though it the oral gives me slight side effects (loss of libido etc.) Ive seen that minoxidil should not be applied to the scalp 10 days before due to potential blood loss. 4. Recommended time after procedure to have a buzz cut across all of the head after the procedure. 5. . Any other pre op or aftercare tips other than the obvious of not exercising etc. I note that these are probably questions for my clinic etc, however they are a lot of conflicting opinions online so im trying to draw off peoples own experiences to hopefully give myself the best possibility of a desired results.
