Before Hair Transplantation

If possible, stop smoking 1 week before surgery. If this is not possible, try to reduce it. Remember that smoking slows the healing process.
Avoid alcohol one week before surgery.
Avoid coffee and caffeinated beverages.
Avoid green tea a week before hair transplant.
You should inform your hair transplant doctor about the medications you take for chronic (such as diabetes, heart, blood pressure).
Stop taking anticoagulants (heparin, aspirin, coumadin, etc.) and multivitamins one week before the surgery. These drugs can cause increased bleeding.
Stop applying medication and lotion to the scalp and hair one month before the operation.
Wash your hair before applying and do not use gels, sprays or other styling or fixing agents.
Do not forget to have breakfast before going to the hair transplant. If your surgery is in the afternoon, it's a good idea to have a light lunch before you arrive.
When dressing and undressing for surgery, give priority to clothes that you can easily put on and take off without rubbing your head. For example, wearing a shirt is a good idea in this regard.
Be careful not to drive after hair transplantation. So if you're going a long distance to go to surgery, make sure you have someone with you.
