My Hair Stopped Growing 3 Weeks Postop.. Need Help

[wprevil]

Hi guys... 2 crucial questions:

1) Must patients typically shampoo their scalps every day postop surgery?

2) My hair growth is stagnant. My hair usually grows a lot, about an inch and a quarter a month before the surgery. So far, the length has stayed the same since postop surgery. Its now been a quarter of an inch since the surgery and has stopped growing. Is this also normal??

After the trauma of surgery your scalp/hair requires time to recover. Don’t be alarmed if your hair sheds, etc.

Appreciate that. Do you know whether patients shampoo every day or not postop?

I would be guided by your surgeon.

Hair only grows half an inch a month.  Give it some time.  see how it look in 5-6 weeks.

I'd be too if his clinic weren't closed for Christmas vacay. He reopens on Jan 8th which is 3 weeks away. Can't wait that long when I'm a recent surgery.
