What Should Be Done Before a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant significantly impacts aesthetic appearance and personal confidence. Proper preparation before the operation is crucial for the success of the procedure, directly influencing the outcome.

Examination and Planning

A thorough examination and careful planning before the hair transplant are essential. During this consultation, conducted by a specialist, the extent of hair loss, scalp condition, donor area quality, and overall health of the patient are evaluated. The patient’s expectations, desires, and the required number of grafts are determined at this stage. Hairline design is planned carefully, taking into account facial features, age, and aesthetic criteria to achieve a natural look.

Medication Use

All medications used for chronic conditions should be reported to the doctor. Blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) must be discontinued before the operation at the date advised by your doctor. Painkillers and vitamins should also be adjusted in consultation with your healthcare provider.

Alcohol and Smoking

Alcohol consumption should be completely stopped at least one week before the operation, and smoking should be reduced significantly or ideally stopped altogether. Smoking and alcohol adversely affect blood circulation, hindering the grafts’ ability to take root and negatively influencing the healing process.

Hair Hygiene

On the day of the operation, your hair must be clean and free from any cosmetic products. Avoid hair sprays, gels, conditioners, and similar chemical products.

Nutrition

In the days leading up to the operation, consume light, nutritious foods. Avoid excessively fatty, spicy, or heavy meals; instead, focus on protein-rich nutrition. Coffee, energy drinks, and excessive caffeine intake should be avoided on the operation day.

Avoid Applying Chemical Products to Hair

For one month before the hair transplant, avoid applying chemical products to your scalp. Products like topical hair care medications (such as minoxidil) or aggressive hair dyes can increase scalp sensitivity, potentially causing complications during the transplant.

All these steps are transparently and comprehensively communicated to the patient to ensure readiness for the procedure.
