I was asked to visit the clinic on third day after surgery. This is to remove the bandage put up for scar and wash the head.
From hereon, I will have to wash the head daily with baby shampoo applying little pressure which has to be increased gradually. The blood clots will come out slowly. The hair line is nicely seen now. But these hairs will fall in 2-3 weeks time and start growing in 2-3 months.
I will have to apply minoxidil for next 6 months twice daily. It is to facilitate the hair growth. I am not allowed to have hair cut for at least three weeks.
Do remember that extreme care has to be taken for next few weeks to get best results.
Seen below is the scar on the backside of the head. Though it is hidden behind the hairs, the line can be identified.The scar is left open as it has dried because of antibiotics.
Though doctors did not advice me any special precautions for the scar except applying some antibacterial gel for 3 weeks, I slept reverse as I did for last 2 days so as not to put pressure on the wound.

The Scar as well as the transplanted area pain little so I was given pain killers for 3 days. I did not take them as I was able to bear the pain.
The post procedure care varies from doctor to doctor. Some doctors prefer applying oil some don't. Washing methods also differ. Internet research says many more things to be done after procedure which my clinic didn't advice me. But I decided to stick to the points my clinic advised instead of trying other internet advises though they also look logical.
I hope my experience is helping you. Please let me know in comments if you need to know anything else at this stage. I will keep posting results anyway.
