• After getting your GP’s approval, stop taking aspirin or any other medication that may thin your blood three days before the hair transplant.

• Avoid alcohol: Consumption of alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of local anesthetics given to you by your doctor before surgery. Avoid Smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp.
• At least one week before and one week after the operation, we recommend that you avoid smoking, as smoking can lead to narrowing of the blood vessels and poor growth of the transplanted hair.

What to wear during the operation?

• We recommend that you wear a button-facing shirt or a T-shirt with a very wide collar.
• After the operation you should avoid any contact with grafts.
• The procedure takes almost 6 hours, depending on the number of grafts you receive.
• We recommend that you dress comfortably when you come for a hair transplant.

• Take a shower and take care of your personal hygiene. Come to the establishment with a light breakfast. Take a good rest before coming to the hair transplant.

• An accompanying person is not allowed in the operating theater.
• We will receive your companions in our waiting room. Don’t chew gum and avoid talking too much during the surgery. Avoid using your personal cell phone during surgery.

• After the hair transplant operation, you will have a bandage on the donor part and a hair band around your forehead to prevent the swelling on your face.
  You will see small scabs in the recipient area and small red holes in the donor area that will heal within 15 days.

• A few days after the operation, there is seldom swelling on the face and especially around the eyes. In this case, it is best to apply some ice to the swollen area. No special medication is required. The swelling subsides spontaneously after 5 days

• Itching is a sign of healing and it is completely normal to experience this feeling 2-3 days after surgery. Do not scratch or pluck the cultivated area. The itching can persist for several days.

• A burning sensation may occur 4 days after the operation, especially in the donor area. In this case, it is recommended to apply the moisturizing lotion to the donor site only three to four times a day and wait for absorption.

• We will provide post-operative cleaning and PRP treatment in our clinic. After cleaning, your bandage will be removed.

• You should start with post-operative hair washing; the first hair wash may also be carried out in our clinic.
  We will recommend a shampoo and lotion for you and explain how to wash your hair for the next 15 days. Washing will help remove the scab and aid the healing process.

• The transplanted grafts will be stronger and will not fall off from touch. You should avoid scratches. 4-5 days after the operation, the hair in the transplanted area will begin to fall off and this will last for 2-3 months. After that, new permanent hair will begin to grow.

• Your appearance will become regular in 2-3 weeks; people would not understand that you had a hair transplant.

• It is during this period that shock hair loss occurs, and then the transplanted hair begins to grow.

• In the 4th month the growth rate will increase again, and by the 6th month you will see half the result and see some obvious changes.

• The transplanted hair will continue to grow and become thicker.

• In 12-18 months you will see the final result of your hair transplant surgery. You will get the look of more intense, longer and thicker hair. The end result will be seen 12 to 15 months after the operation in the anterior area and 18 to 20 months in the crown area.
