There will be tiny crusts where each graft was placed which will fall off at 3 to 4 days. Gently pat off any remaining crusts at 5 days – if there is any discomfort or bleeding, stop and begin to pat again 2 days later. There will also likely be a mild amount of pinkness to the area for a few days after the crusts fall off. Some of the transplanted hairs will fall off over the following 2 weeks. This is normal, as the hairs will start to grow back 2 to 3 months later. Once the hairs start to grow back, you will need to trim them once or twice monthly, and occasionally apply some antibiotic ointment to “train” some of the hairs to grow flat to the forehead in the ideal direction. For most patients, at 4 or 5 days they are presentable without any obvious signs of having had a procedure other than they will have new hairs, and possibly some mild flaking. To reduce discomfort apply warm pack around eyebrows first week after the procedure. For the first 3 -6 days after the procedure, wash your face very gently with mild soap (baby soap) and water if desired. After the 7th day, normal face washing (without rubbing the eyebrows), showering, and exercise is permitted. Normal hair shampooing is permitted 48 hours after your procedure. Avoid excessive sun exposure for the first week after your procedure. What to Expect – Some numbness for the first few weeks above the small suture line in the scalp is normal. It will take several weeks, occasionally several months to completely resolve. You may have your hair cut as soon as the sutures have been removed. Hair coloring is permitted 2 weeks after your procedure.
