1st Wash

Had my 2nd hair transplant about 8 days ago. Washed my head according to my surgeons instructions. Can someone tell me what exactly I’m looking at? Are these hair follicles or is this build up from my scalp? The hair is still slightly wet in this photo.

It’s just the dead tissue from the transplanted grafts. The grafts are secure now meaning you can massage your scalp quite firmly while shampooing. Leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes. This will soften the tissue, massage a bit more and wash off. All the excess tissue should clear within a few days.

The instructions from Bigmac will help clean your scalp. All perfectly normal.

Hi, today marks 17 days post procedure. I was wondering when it’s safe to go back to the gym. My doctor said 4 weeks. Was wondering if this is common as it seems excessive.

I've been quoted 10-14 days before returning to exercise, but I'm not a doctor. Out of curiosity, who was the surgeon?

It`s ok to return to the gym at this stage. How is your post-op healing?
