Do you know what to do before and after hair transplantation? First of all, there is some work to do before the operation.

• Before transplantation, blood tests are requested in risky and special patients for Anti HIV, HBV, HCV, and other risks. (If you have these diseases, our fee doubles.)
  Before the hair transplantation, the patient should be informed about general health problems and medications that are used continuously. It should be decided to discontinue or continue these drugs in consultation with the prescribed doctor. For example, sugar and blood pressure and heart medications can be continued until the planting date without stopping.
• Caffeine and its contents should not be taken on the day of transplantation. (Such as influenza medications and painkillers containing coffee, chocolate, and caffeine)
• Hair transplantation application can take 8-13 hours. During this period, the patient may need to lie on the side or on the abdomen. Therefore, stomach complaints should be reviewed before transplantation.
• Normal meals should be taken on the date of planting, but foods that may cause gas problems should be avoided.
• There may be an increase in hair loss in the areas where the hair is transplanted and taken after hair transplantation. For this purpose, minoxidil solutions are used 2 weeks before the planting date. This drug should be discontinued 3 days before the planting date and should be restarted 1-2 weeks after the planting.

• If are you using eye lenses, the lenses should be removed on the day of Operation.
• In hair transplantation, patients with gray hair may be asked to dye their hair. Hair coloring should be done 15-20 days before the date given for transplantation. (If you can’t doesn’t matter)
• While coming to the operation, a dress that will not rub against your head and that you can wear and take off comfortably should be preferred. (shirt etc.)
• Smoking should be reduced or even avoided 1 week before hair transplantation. Smoking will prolong your wound healing process and increase the risk of infection and scarring.
• Aspirin and other NSAI painkillers should be discontinued 1 week before the operation.
• Alcohol intake should be reduced or even stopped 1 week before.
• Vit E and some herbal products should be discontinued 3 weeks prior to bleeding control.
• In order to reduce edema and pain and even accelerate wound healing after hair transplantation, arnica, bromelain, and Vit C can be taken 2 weeks before the hair transplantation date.
• Antibiotics can be used for infection control before hair transplantation. For this purpose, 500 mg of ciprofloxacin is given 1 hour before and 6 hours after the operation.
• It would be better if the hair was washed the evening and morning before the operation.
• During the operation, mild drugs that have sedation effects can be given optionally.

• Approximately 3 weeks after the surgery, 80% of the patients who underwent hair transplantation lose all or part of their transplanted hair. It should not be forgotten that this situation is normal and always temporary. After the hair falls out, it will take 3-6 months for the hair to regrow. However, it takes its most beautiful form within 1 year after completing the adaptation process of the transplanted hair. You can calculate that your hair will grow approximately 1 cm each month.
• Compliance with the following applications after hair transplantation will shorten the healing process and reduce side effects.
• Take the recommended medications regularly after hair transplantation.
• Stay away from jobs that require attention within 12 hours after hair transplantation.
• After transplantation, the patient’s travels should be evaluated. If you are going to travel by plane after operation, you should wait at least 1 day.

• For 10 days after hair transplantation; Avoid stress, excessive excitement, sports, sexual intercourse, alcohol and cigarette consumption.
• For 5 days, you will sleep in a sitting position with a neck pillow.
• You should drink plenty of water.You shouldn’t look down. We want our patients to be like robots. You should stay in an upright position.
