I am 2 days into HT now and am showing a considerable amount of swelling in the forehead part,did any person experienced the same thing and how long did the swelling last.Also are there any medicines for the same.

I think the majority experienced some swelling, some more than others. I did from day 3 to 5. If I were you I would apply ice as often as possible for the next 3 days, and sleep upright if possible. The doc gave me some pills to help minimize it. It'll be gone in a couple days anyway so this is a common and expected thing and nothing to be concerned with. Just looks funny for a couple days.

I was told by my doc, that the best way to stop swelling is sleep at 45 degree angle during the first few days. I was also given some anti-swelling medicine to take for the first few days. I noticed very little swelling if any at all, but I only had 500 grafts done, using FUE. (I don't know if swelling is due to donor extraction, or incisions in the recipient area, or both)

mel,

I had MAJOR swelling from days three through five. It went almost as quickly as it came, but I did look like an unrecognizable elf for three days. The advice given above will help to minimize things.

Mr. T

I had 2364 grafts a week ago tommorow and I had some minor swelling the evening of the procedure in the recipient area. I noticed the donor area's swelling went down yesterday, as I am now aware of the staples. Other than that, I didn't have any to speak of. Are some folks just more suceptible to the swelling than others?

I had some major swelling at day 2+3 after the OP.
