Your Surgeon will provide you with tailored advice about how to prepare for your Plastic Surgery procedure. In most cases, it’s best if you dye your hair at least 1 week before surgery as your movements will be restricted for at least 5 days afterwards. Depending on the type of procedure, you may not be able to shower or wash your hair while your incision sites heal. This is to protect your wounds from excess water, product/chemicals, and a higher chance of infection.
