How short the patient’s shave his hair after the hair strip transplantation procedure?

When we talk about the strip transplantation procedure, it is also famous as a follicular unit transplant, so it is different from other transplantation procedures. In this method, the doctor uses a sharp blade to cut out a strip of the scalp tissue from the donor side of the head and then split them into thin individual follicular units by using a microscope. When the doctor completed this step, he carefully put the hair grafts on the recipient’s scalp and sews the area, but it is possible to appear scars on the head after surgery. This procedure has a few of the drawbacks and one of its negative aspects is that it leaves the long linear scar in the donor area of the patient’s head. That’s why the patient has to keep a short hairstyle, as to cover the scar. When this linear scar will disappear, most probably in one month, then you can shave your hair.

But on the other hand, it will vary and depends on a number of factors involves in strip transplantation. For example, a patient with a less scars, superior density in the donor area, coarser, curlier hair, and color of the hair is similar to the scar tissue will be capable to shave his hair.

But if you are concerned about visible signs of scarring in the donor region or patients who desire to shave his hair may go for the FUE hair transplantation. Even if there is still scarring with this method, but the scars are less visible under shortly shaved hair.
