Week 2 – MILD rubbing of new grafts is permissible. You can start using minoxidil lotion twice daily or as recommended by doctor. Grafts start to fall during this time but there is nothing to worry as these will re-grow in 3-4 months of time.


About Donor Area – This needs to be taken care by cleaning and spray as good as its done for the new graft area. After this put the ointment as recommended by your doctor. The stitches will gently get loosened in 7-10 days and fall apart.


Exercise – Recommended walking/mild jogging for atleast 2 weeks. NO neck stretch exercises to be done during this time.


Post Operative Swelling : There are few cases where post-operative swelling may occur. This could be visible towards the fore head and be upto 4-5 days. In such cases you are advised to apply ice cubes by putting them in a piece of cloth. Apply these ice cubes 2-3 minutes atleast 4-5 times a day.
