What to do after Hair Transplantation?
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
When you have made the decision to have the hair transfer surgery, most probably you will be thinking your arrangements after the procedure. You will be eagerly waiting for the response of everyone you know when they see you after the operation for hair transplantation is over. Meanwhile, you have to have the surgical procedure and be careful that your hair transplant will work out.
Your hair transfer won’t be able to heal unless you stay out of the sunlight with your recently operated-on skin, in addition, surgical operation renders the skin particularly delicate. If you’re careful to protect your scalp’s skin following a scalp hair transplant, you’ll be able to heal quite a bit quicker. Get a hat, any hat, so long as it isn’t so tight on your head that it rubs your grafts. You may not have to put up with this for long so after a few weeks, you will be able to replace the cap with sunblock but it should contain SPF of at least thirty.
The time in which they heal will be down to having the correct amount of blood flow to the areas of hair transplant. You should sleep on pillows so that you head is high and there is sufficient blood flow during the night. You can purchase wedge-shaped pillows made for this purpose or you can use your regular pillows. You should get plenty of rest after your hair transplant surgical procedure because you do not want excessive blood flow. It is not recommended that you endure any type of physical activities during the initial few weeks, as your blood flow will be heavy and your grafts may possibly bleed.
It is necessary for you to wash your hair style the same way your physician tells you to following your hair transplant surgical process and you will be handed a specific shampoo and be told how to and when to use it for your hair. It is necessary to clean softly but thoroughly and at first, you may find yourself rinsing your hair many times a day so just be sure that you do not bother the hair transfer site by scratching or rubbing it.
Your hair transplant physician will want you to come in for a check of your transfers about a week after your surgery. Show up at the indicated time and bring along any hair care queries you may have. You should find out from your physician when you can use the comb on your new hair because it may amaze you how fast you can use one. You also need to go to further checks - your doctor will set these up for you. It only makes sense that you want to take care of your (probably expensive) new hair. Before long, you’ll be styling your hair just like you used to, without a second thought.
