To get the best possible results from your hair transplant surgery, it is crucial to follow all the necessary after-care precautions. The following are a few tips that ensure optimum results:
Avoid driving for at least 24 hours after the surgery. Since you may be given a sedative during the surgery, you should ask someone to drive you home from the clinic.
Avoid any strenuous activity such as exercise, sports, running, etc., for at least 2 to 3 weeks post-surgery.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for 1-2 months after your hair transplant surgery.
Take all your medicines on time and as per the instructions given.
For the first week post-surgery, make sure you sleep with your head in an elevated position to lower the risk of inflammation. Avoid tossing and turning too much, and do not rub your hairline against the pillow.
Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after your surgery.
Stay sufficiently hydrated because this will make a huge difference in your recovery process.
