    Default What might happen if you shave hair in the recipient area too soon?

    So I had some hair transplanted to restore my hairline, which includes my temple area. Almost two weeks post-op and there is a slight disconnect in my temple area between the transplanted hairs and the rest of my native hairs, making it look a little unnatural.

    Theoretically, what could happen if I shaved the recipient hairs in the temple area so make the appearance of a HT less obvious? Might this cause graft damage?

    Wait at least one more week and be very very gentle. Use a clipper.
