EnglishBefore the Hair Transplant – What You Should Keep in Mind
Why You Should Follow Certain Guidelines Before a Hair Transplant?
To achieve the best possible results, it’s essential to follow a few key recommendations before your hair transplant. The first step is a consultation with your doctor and a thorough hair analysis, so the most suitable treatment plan can be developed together.
In the period just before your procedure, following these guidelines helps your donor area (typically at the back of the head) recover more quickly and ensures that the transplanted grafts establish themselves properly in the recipient area.
Important Guidelines to Follow Before Your Hair Transplant
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for at least two days before the procedure.
Do not use any hair products such as hairspray, gel, or hair lotion on the day of the transplant, as they can affect the scalp.
If you suffer from chronic conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, stomach issues, or high blood pressure and are taking medication, it is essential to inform your doctor and discuss it before the procedure.
Make sure to get plenty of rest the night before. Aim for at least eight hours of sleep.
Wash your hair thoroughly on the morning of the operation.
Do not shave or cut your hair very short at the back of your head within four weeks before the transplant.
You may eat a light breakfast on the day of the procedure, and it's also fine to have a small sweet snack.
Wear comfortable clothing with buttons or a zipper on the day of the procedure. Alternatively, you can wear a regular T-shirt, which we may cut and dispose of after the surgery.
Avoid coffee, green tea, caffeinated soft drinks (like Coca-Cola), and energy drinks on the day of the procedure.
Hair Transplant Preparation - The Hair Analysis
A precise hair analysis is a crucial first step in planning a successful hair transplant. Depending on your hair structure and the extent of hair loss, a personalized treatment approach can lead to significantly better results.
During the pre-transplant hair analysis, your hair is examined carefully. We assess the density of the donor area (usually at the back of the head), and the quality of the hair is also a key factor.
Is your hair thick or fine? Is it wavy, straight, or curly? These characteristics are essential in the planning process, as they help us determine the most suitable method tailored to your unique hair situation.
With proper hair transplant preparation, we can determine the most suitable technique for you, the exact number of grafts needed, and the overall scope of the procedure.
By following the pre-treatment guidelines carefully, you help ensure the best possible results — so you can soon enjoy life again with full, healthy-looking hair.
