Senior Member baldiee Posted December 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Is there a difference in the healing process of the scar? I want to take my staples out as soon as possible (10th day mark), but if there is a benefit in waiting 4 more days, I would endure it.

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted December 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 9, 2020 I had my staples removed at day 9 and Dr. Bloxham said my scar and recipient looks how he'd expect someone at day 14. Everyone is different in healing so its hard to put an exact science on it. I personally would've felt more comfortable waiting until 14 day mark, just cause I'd rather risk short term pain for long term cosmetics, but it was just too convenient to see Dr. Bloxham at day 9 to pass up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member sl Posted December 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 9, 2020 Unless a very tight closure then 10 days is fine usually unless specified to wait longer by the doctor who performed the surgery. I represent Dr. Bisanga. Dr. Christian Bisanga is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Louisjams Posted December 10, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think it depends on the technique and the doc and your scalp. I would not deviate from what the doc said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
