Experts, any suggestions? Please suggest me? Thanks... Make sure to constantly soak the graft with the Graftcyte spray provided by Dr. Epstein. It can't hurt the healing process and I think it helps with keeping the grafts hydrated. I didn't take pictures immediately post transplant w/ Dr. Epstein on 4/13/2007 and I wish I had to better document the experience. Please post pictures when you have a chance. The donor area will feel a little uncomfortable for quite some time. Good luck and keep us posted. -Sin My Hair Loss Weblog 1st HT with Dr. Jeffrey Epstein 2,599 Grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SlowlyThinning@59 Posted July 20, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted July 20, 2007 You might swell up in a couple of days. My eyes did swell up some on my 4th day but only lasted 2 days. I kept neosporin on my donor area stitches and they fell out on the 10th day. I am now 18 days post op and am back to normal washing my hair and rubbing the graft area but not using the fingernails just yet. The itching will go away at 2 weeks, atleast it did on me. Still haven't lost any graft hairs yet but am expecting to any day now unless I'm one of the lucky ones that won't. Good luck and just keep your head as clean as possible. You should be able to pour a mixture of water and shampoo on your grafts by the 4th day but do not rub. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
