Hair Restoration Post-Surgery Instructions - Best Hair Transplant Delhi India
Hair transplant
surgery is a delicate procedure. Your adherence to the following instructions
is essential in order that your results be optimal.
1.
Alcoholic
beverages are not to be consumed for three days after your surgical procedure.
Alcohol may thin the blood and cause bleeding.
2. Do
not take Vitamins, Aspirin or Ibuprofen or Arthritis medication for at least 3
days after your procedure. These medications will thin the blood and may result
in excessive bleeding. For pain and/or headache, please use non-aspirin
containing medication such as acetaminophen or the pain medication prescribed
to you. Consult the doctors should you be in doubt.
3.
You
should refrain from exercise, such as running, cycling, and weight lifting, as
well as activities such as golf, baseball, soccer, etc. at least THREE days
after your surgical procedure. Such activity, when enjoyed prior to this
critical period may result in bleeding and loss of grafts, as well as intense
swelling around the eyes and forehead. Vigorous physical activity should be
avoided for one week after surgery.
4.
Do not
bend over or engage in any lifting for at least 48 hours after surgery to avoid
bleeding or excess swelling. Keep your head and upper body elevated above the
level of your heart during this time, especially when sleeping.
5.
In
occasional instances, minor bleeding may occur from one or more of the graft
sites. This can be alleviated by applying light pressure to the area with a
moist clean cloth for 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to disrupt surrounding
grafts.
6.
Apply
ice packs as follows: In the donor area, an ice pack is applied directly to the
area of the suture line for l0 minutes per hour, while awake, for 3 days.
Please apply a gauze pad to the area first, and place the ice pack on top of this.
In the recipient area, DO NOT apply the ice pack directly on the grafted site. Rather, place the ice
pack on the forehead for ten minutes per hour, while awake, for three days. The
more you keep this ice pack in place, the less your chances of swelling.
7.
One of
the minor sequelae of hair restoration surgery is swelling. If swelling occurs,
it usually does so approximately 48-72 hours after your surgical procedure. It
is PAINLESS, and will begin
on the forehead and over the bridge of the nose. It may proceed to surround the
eyes. If this occurs, do not panic. The swelling will subside spontaneously in
2 to 3 days. Use ice packs on the swollen areas and relax. Refrain
from any strenuous activity.
8.
Sleep
with your head and upper body propped up on several pillows for the first 3 to
4 days. This will prevent swelling of the forehead. Alternatively, sleeping in
a lazy-boy recliner with your head and upper body elevated for 48 hours is also
effective.
9.
Do not
wash or disrupt the grafts for 24 hours after surgery. After this time shower
and wash your hair by lathering the shampoo in your hand and lightly applying
to the grafted area as well as the donor site. Rinse with cool water and light
water pressure. These precautions should be taken for 5 days after your
surgical procedure. Thereafter, normal shampooing may be resumed. It is
advisable to use a thick moisturizing conditioner daily on the grafted sites as
well as in the donor area. Apply carefully, and let the conditioner remain on
the area for 5 minutes, then rinse gently. This will significantly decrease
scab formation.
10.
Apply
light pressure on the grafts with a towel or gauze pad after exiting the
shower. This will absorb any blood that has formed on or around the graft
sites.
11.
If you
are using a blow dryer, use on a cool setting for the first five days after surgery. Warm air could cause
minor bleeding at one or more of the grafted sites.
12.
It is
recommended that Graftcyte be sprayed onto the grafted area 4-6 times a day for
at least the first week following surgery. This accelerates the healing
process. This product may also be used on the donor area.
13.
The
graft sites will form scabs in 24 to 72 hours after surgery, and the scabs fall
off in 3-10 days. As the scabs fall off, you may notice that hair is shed with
them. THIS IS NORMAL. Do
not pick or scratch the scabs, doing so can cause infection and endanger the
survival of the grafts. If scabbing persists beyond 14 days, you may not be
shampooed vigorously enough. Remember, the critical period after surgery is 5
days. Precautions in shampooing, etc. are to be adhered to during this time.
14.
Several
weeks after your surgical procedure or any time thereafter, an ingrown hair(s)
may appear. This will take on the appearance of a small pimple or painless bump
in either the donor or recipient areas. Apply a warm washcloth or compress to
the area for 10 minutes three times a day. If after 3 days there is no relief
or if the area becomes reddened, swollen, tender, or inflamed, contact the
office.
15.
If
Rogaine is being used, please discontinue it for 4 days following surgery.
16.
Swimming
in water containing chlorine is not recommended and should avoid for at least SEVEN days following surgery. Swimming in salt
water is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED three days after surgery, although it is not a necessity.
17.
It is
recommended that our hair care products: the shampoo, conditioner, and
replenisher be used after your procedures. Your hair will be cleansed
thoroughly and the products will create an optimum environment for graft growth
and maturation.
18.
Suture
removal and a check of your surgical sites will be performed 7-10 days after
surgery. A return appointment will be scheduled before departure.
