How to Prepare for Hair Transplantation Surgery?

The evolution of medical technology has been remarkable. Hair transplantation technology is a relatively safe cosmetic operation with low risks. To ensure that hair transplant treatments go as smoothly as possible, it is vital to prepare for surgery beforehand.

Before undergoing hair transplant surgery, the hair transplant surgeon may provide instructions that one must adhere to achieve safe outcomes. 'Depending on the type of hair transplant and individual needs, the instructions may vary, but whatever the form of hair transplant one is undergoing, the patient must adhere to some standard preparation instructions as directed by their surgeon,' shares Dr. Urvashi Chandra, an expert hair transplant surgeon who has performed many types of complicated and successful Hair Transplant Surgery in Delhi.

Guidelines for General Preparation Prior to Hair Transplant

Before undergoing hair transplant surgery, it is vital to adhere to the following guidelines:

• It would be beneficial if one quit smoking a week before hair transplant surgery. Smoking can inhibit wound healing and prolong recovery after surgery.
• One week before surgery, one should abstain from taking alcohol and tobacco.
• Do not cut your hair before the procedure. It is necessary to increase the donor area in order to have sufficient hair for hair transplants.
• Massage the scalp daily, one month to two weeks before surgery. Before undergoing hair transplant surgery, the skin should be massaged daily for at least 10 minutes to soften and improve its tone. Additionally, it improves blood circulation.
• Antibiotics may be prescribed prior to surgery to reduce the risk of infection (depending on case to case). Also, it is instructed to apply Minoxidil on bald spots on your scalp. Antibiotics are prescribed after hair transplant surgery.
• If one is older than 45, then one may be required to undergo an ECG exam and blood testing. Two weeks before surgery, one should stop using blood thinners and other anti-inflammatory medications. Two weeks before hair transplant surgery, antidepressants, beta-blockers, and blood-thinning medications must be avoided.
• Although hair transplant may appear to be a complex procedure, it is actually quite straightforward. As recommended by the surgeon, one must adequately prepare themselves before hair transplant surgery to maximize the likelihood of effective results. To ensure that a hair transplant operation goes more smoothly, it is also vital to follow these guidelines.

When preparing a hair transplant, it is recommended to conduct extensive research to achieve safe outcomes. Things that must be considered are:

• Make sure that the doctor is a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon with training in hair transplantation.
• Check the doctor's experience in performing hair transplant surgery to determine their level of expertise.
• Check the doctor's results and reviews.

A hair transplant is a beneficial procedure. If one is properly prepared and follows their doctor's instructions and suggestions, just after nine months, they can see their new hair growth.
