Hair transplantation is a safe and effective procedure, but it is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care to ensure the best possible results.

Immediately after the procedure:

• Your head will be bandaged to protect the incisions.
• You may experience some bleeding, swelling, and bruising.
• You will be given medication to help with pain and inflammation.

During the first few days:

• The bandages will be removed within a few days.
• You will be able to shower, but avoid shampooing for at least a week.
• You may be able to return to work or school within a few days, but avoid strenuous activity for at least a week.

During the first few weeks:

• The transplanted hair will fall out.
• This is normal and is a sign that the hair follicles are healing.
• The new hair will begin to grow in about 3-4 months.

During the first few months:

• Avoid wearing hats or caps that could put pressure on the transplanted hair.
• Avoid using hair products that could irritate the scalp.
• Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair.

During the first year:

• The new hair will continue to grow in.
• You may need to have a follow-up procedure to add more hair.

Here are some additional tips for post-hair transplant care:

• Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of fluids to help your body heal.
• Get enough sleep to help your body recover.
• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, which can slow down the healing process.

By following these tips, you can help ensure a successful hair transplant.
