Before hair transplant operation, please let us know about your medical issues and medications you use.
If you have any health problems, chronic diseas, cardiac diseas please get a consultation from your doctor about your planned hair transplant operation.
Stop using Aspirin or any other drugs that might thin your blood seven days before hair transplantation.
It is important to discontinue using ibuprofen, arthritis medication, or any vitamins for at least seven days before hair transplant surgery. In particular, gingko biloba, vitamin E, ginger, garlic, and echinacea should be avoided.
These medications and supplements can thin the blood and lead to more post-treatment bleeding and swelling. If you are unsure about a particular medication, please contact us for further instructions.
Following the completion of your hair transplant procedure, Dr. Mehmet Demircioglu will provide you with essential post-operative medications, including an antibiotic, a painkiller, and Prednol tablets and neck pillow. You will also receive detailed post-operative instructions from Dr. Demircioglu to ensure a smooth recovery.
Avoid alcohol: Using alcohol may affect the efficiency of the local anesthetics that the doctor gives you before the operation.
Alcoholic beverages should be avoided entirely for about one week before your surgery. Excessive alcohol intake can result in increased bleeding, making the procedure more difficult to perform. We also recommend a full night’s sleep the night before your treatment.
Avoid smoking: Smoking decreases blood flow to the scalp. At least 7 days before and one week after your surgery, we recommend that you avoid smoking, because smoking might cause blood vessel constriction and weak growth of your transplanted hair.
We recommend you to wear a buttoned shirt or a very wide collar T-Shirt.
You should avoid any touch to grafts after the operation.The procedure takes nearly 7 to 9 hours according to the number of grafts you are receiving.
We recommend you to dress comfortable when coming for hair transplantation.
We recommend eating a normal healthy breakfast the morning of your hair restoration procedure. If you have an empty stomach, you could experience nausea or faintness. However, we ask that patients avoid caffeine until after their procedure is complete.
Take a shower and take care of your personal hygiene. Come to operation with a full stomach. Rest well before coming to the hair transplantation procedure.
No companion is allowed in the clinic.
Please do not chew gum and avoid talking too much during the operation. Avoid using your cell phones during the operation.
