A successful hair transplant doesn’t end with surgery. Proper post-operative care is essential to ensure the best results and smooth healing. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the recovery process:
Get plenty of rest and avoid unnecessary movement. Sleep with your head elevated at a 45° angle using 2–3 pillows for at least the first 3 nights to reduce swelling. Do not wash, touch, scratch, or disturb the transplanted area in any way. Take all prescribed medications, including antibiotics, pain relievers, or anti-inflammatory drugs, exactly as directed, and use any recommended sprays or solutions as advised by your doctor.
You'll be guided to wash your scalp gently to protect the grafts. Apply the recommended lotion to soften scabs, then use lukewarm water and mild shampoo. Wash with fingertips only, no rubbing or scratching, and pat dry with a soft towel.
Avoid all strenuous activities such as exercise, gym workouts, or yoga, as well as saunas and steam rooms that cause excessive sweating. Do not wear helmets, caps, or hats that come into contact with the grafted area, and avoid direct sun exposure on the scalp. Refrain from smoking and alcohol, as both can slow down the healing process.
Mild scabbing is normal and usually flakes off within 7–10 days. Temporary hair shedding, known as shock loss, may occur within 2–4 weeks and is a normal part of the healing process. New hair growth typically begins around the 3rd to 4th month and gradually improves over 6–12 months.
Avoid haircuts, coloring, or chemical treatments for at least one month. Refrain from using hair sprays, gels, or styling tools until your doctor approves. Gentle combing can typically be done after 14 days.
Regular check-ups are important to track healing and graft survival. The first follow-up is usually scheduled within 7–10 days after the procedure, followed by visits at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
