After Hair Transplant Care In Hair Restoration Surgery
After hair transplant care is an important subject that patients who undergo a hair transplant procedure need to know and follow religiously.
All patients who had a hair transplant surgery using a deprive technique usually leave our hair transplant center with a bandage around their head. The bandage is used just to support the freshly closed donor twisted on the back of top of the head. Patients get prescription for pain and anti-inflammatory medications for first week after surgery. The first night after hair transplant surgery, patient needs to be cautious not to apply or scratch the transplanted area. It is advice that all patients take it straightforward for the first days avoiding heavy physical exercises.
Those patients need another for physician evaluation and hair wash the day after surgery. During this first visit, the bandage is removed and donor twisted and the transplanted hair is examined. The donor and beneficiary areas need to be cleansed very carefully while teaching the person how to wash it at home during day two to four after hair transplantation. Hair wash after hair transplant surgery needs to be done twice a day with a special method to minimize the probability of dislodging the grafts. Patients ask if they can skip washing hair within the first week to avoid damaging the grafts. The answer is “No”. Hair wash is a key step up hair transplant care that guaranties the normal growth of the transplanted hair follicular grafts.
We have a few constraints in patient’s activities after hair transplants. Some clinics recommend very strict rules for basic activities. It is preferred that patient keeps his normal daily activities with some minor limitations. Those things that add to the tension of the twisted edges at donor area should be avoided for the first twenty eight days after surgery. Those activities are: extreme folding of neck and heavy weight lifting.
Hair Transplant patients need to go back to hair transplant clinic at day ten after hair transplant surgery to remove the staples (for patients who had deprive surgery and donor is closed with metal staples) and to reevaluate the donor and beneficiary area. For the patients who have their donor closed with absorbable sutures, it is recommended to be welcomed in ten days to assess the state of health of beneficiary and donor area, which includes patient’s who had FUE, eyebrow hair transplant, hair transplant repair or body hair transplants. All follow up visits are included in the initial cost of hair transplant surgery and patients won’t be charged for any follow up visits.
Hair restoration surgery patient should avoid direct sun contact with the beneficiary area approximately six months after follicular unit transplant surgery. Extreme and direct sun exposure may harm the growing grafts. Sun contact may also cause skin changing the skin color.
The final follow up appointment for their after hair transplant care is between months ten to eleven after their hair transplant surgery, when transplanted hair grows to its final thickness and length. Now session Doctor. Parsa Mohebi assess the transplanted hair grafts and assesses the finial size and condition of donor scar. This visit is a good time for patients who wish to think about a repeat surgery to increase the solidity of hair or cover the areas that is not completely covered with first hair transplant surgery due to the limited top of the head laxity or extended thinning hair area. All patients who are planning for a repeat surgery do not need to wait that long and a repeat surgery could be done any time after month 5 after the initial hair transplant procedure.
Patients of hair restoration should be viewed as needed in addition to the mentioned visits for a variety of different reasons and a great patient-physician relationship is an important the main success of the hair restoration procedures at US Hair Restoration Clinics.
