Head wash 7 days

[cfmhc]

Hey guys. I’m 1 day away from my 7th day post procedure at Eugenix. 3500 grafts hairline and crown. 
 

Clinic has said to do head wash on 7th day, it seems a little bit early to me. Is this standard practice with most clinics and if not, how long is?

That's normal. I think most Drs will say between the 6th to 8th day is when you can start washing your head normal.

I should add that you just need to make sure you aren't too aggressive. Go easy and not scratch or scrub too hard for a couple of more days.

There's no harm in waiting an extra day or two. Just be sure to keep everything moist via the constant use of saline spray. You don't want to make like harder for yourself by allowing everything to dry up too much before removing the scabs but if you feel you'd benefit from an extra day or so, that's basically fine too. But 7 days is pretty standard yes.

Dr Pinto had me doing head washes a day after surgery - twice a day. Albeit with less than regular water pressure. You’ll be fine mate just ease into it

It’s fine…but like AI - Moderator said, don’t scratch or rub too aggressively yet. Not all scabs have to come off same day.
