After Hair Transplant, When Do Staples Come Out?

July 1st, 2008

Q: How soon after the hair transplant procedure do I have to get them out?

A: We remove every other staple at 10 days post-op.

The remaining staples are generally removed at 20 days post-op. This varies based upon the patients scalp laxity and the width of the donor strip.
