Before the operation, consult with the doctor, and be sure to inform him about any diseases, allergies (if any), and if you are taking hormonal or other medications, provide the names of the medications, as some can thin the blood and may require cessation before the operation. It is also recommended to undergo studies to exclude infectious diseases and alopecia areata. It is advisable to stop smoking and drinking alcohol both before and after surgery. If quitting smoking is challenging, then aim to reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke.
On the day of your hair transplant, wear clothing with buttons or a zipper to easily put on or remove them without touching your head or beard. Prior to and following surgery, steer clear of stressful situations to keep your body calm. During the initial 10 days post hair transplantation, exercise extreme caution to prevent any touching or impact in the transplant area. This period is crucial for the restoration process, as the hair follicles establish roots in their new location.
For the initial month, refrain from engaging in any physical activities such as going to the gym, swimming pool, or sauna. Additionally, avoid situations that may cause sweating, like prolonged sun exposure. In the first six months, cutting in the transplantation area should be done solely with scissors, as clippers can touch the transplanted shaft and potentially uproot it. Our doctor will provide personalized recommendations during the pre-surgery consultation and post-transplant, taking into account your specific data and characteristics.
