subject: Post Hair Transplantation: How It Heals [print this page] Author: Marshal Clements Author: Marshal Clements
About ten days ago, I was in San Diego watching a Chargers football game at Qualcomm Stadium. After the third quarter, I met a fortyish man sitting behind me, maybe in his late thirties, who told me that he had undergone a hair transplant procedure. He confided in me and told me that after six days following surgery, things seemed to be healing and going A-OK. But, he said, last night, while in the shower washing his hair, he noticed hair follicles fell out: seven of them to be exact. And he was quite concerned (and for good reason) and said he planned on making an appointment with his hair restoration doctor to find out if there's a problem.
The man, who seemed to be a rabid Chargers fan (he had a lightning bolt tattoo on his shoulder), told me he had his scalp stapled. It didnt look infected or have a lot of inflammation, but it was really sensitive, meaning that he felt pain each time he touched that area of his head on something or just swiped his head past a pillow or movie theater seat. In addition, with not much shock, the pain level had increased as he had taken less anti-inflammatory drugs.
After the game, he asked me: Are there any off-the-shelf medications Id recommend? Whether topical or oral drugs, it didnt seem matter to him.
My reply to him: After some time passes, the pain and tenderness from the closed donor wound will decrease. After about four days, you might feel some pain in the donor area while on medication. If it happens to be that the transplant donor area is becoming more sensitive, pay your doctor a visit and hell take a look at your donor area to make sure its healing properly.
