Regular Member vsma Posted June 14 Regular Member Share Posted June 14 theres been studies that shows around the 10-14th day is when youd need to surgically remove grafts in order for them to come out, even thats being generous youre good if thats what you wanna do bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to save you asking a load of questions in the future that amount to the same thing... Pretty much everything you can imagine is fine after 3 weeks post op: you can wear any type of hat, you can play contact sports, you can buzzcut your hair, you can bump your head against as many things as you like... The only thing to be slightly careful of if your scalp is still red is sunburn (otherwise the redness can last longer that it otherwise would), but sunburn should be avoided regardless of whether you've had a HT. The advice your friend was given is garbage. Ignore it and relax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted June 14 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 14 I’ve heard doctors say that after 7 days those grafts are anchored in and safe. Your scalp would still be pretty irritated post procedure so I don’t know how many guys are going to want to put a head massager to it that soon but yeah. @Berba11’s input is correct. Massage is excellent for blood flow anyway, blood flow is what you need for graft regrowth, so I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to as long as your scalp is able to tolerate it.

Senior Member ClaireB Posted June 15 Senior Member Share Posted June 15 I have the same massager, except mine is pink. 🩷 I use it while conditioning my hair in the shower, and I've been doing this since about 2 months post-op with absolutely no issues. 🧑🏽⚕️ Help others by naming your clinic and surgeon, in your post title if possible. 💊 Help yourself by directing medical questions to medical professionals.
