What FUE Hair Transplant Recovery is Like?

It is a surgical procedure with some short term side effects; the recovery period is also not long. The scalp, bread, eyelashes, or eyebrows area does not take long to heal after this procedure. This technique does not significantly harm the skin but it always delivers long-lasting and natural-looking results.

The people who undergo this procedure may feel some tenderness in the scalp which is normal and stays for a short time. To deal with possible pain, surgeons prescribe medications. The patient will have to wear bandages for a day or two. In general, patients can resume routine activities in 2 to 5 days.

Time Required to Heal After FUE Hair Transplant

The new hair is supposed to fall out within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery which is totally normal because new hair will start growing after some time (weeks to months). In most cases, more than 60% of hair appear after 6 to 9 months. The person needs to follow instructions from the surgeon during this time.

Unlike other cosmetic surgeries, this procedure does not come with a long recovery period. If you chose an experienced hair restoration surgeon and took proper before/aftercare, you will get well very quickly. If nothing goes wrong, the patient will be totally fine in just 10-day to 2-week time.
