    playsound 2 weeks post op

    Hi everyone. I had my HT two weeks ago today, but I am concerned as to whether or not my grafts are in place securely? I still have a fair amount of scabs on my scalp and and tempted to pick at them but do not want to pull out the grafts. Also do you think I can start to shampoo my hair under the shower like I would do normally before the transplant. Cheers guys, Dom.

    When I had my first HT, my doctor (Doctor McAndrews) told me that at 10 days post-op, I can do anything I want ... shampoo, exercise, slam my head against the wall. :-) My second HT with Doctor Alexander, he said basically the same thing. So, I think you are in the clear my friend, to shampoo and resume life back to normal. But I'd definitely just verify this with your doctor's office.

    Congrats on your HT brother,

    TeeJay

    Hi Teejay -

    Why did you switch Doctors? It sounds like from your posts you had great results from Dr Mcandrews on your first surgery - why did you go with Dr Alexander on your second surgery?

    just curious - I just had my first procedure with Dr Mcandrews about a month ago and am happy with the healing so far.
