A hair transplant is a delicate procedure, and it is essential to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and the successful growth of the transplanted hair. The following is a detailed description of the post-operative care you will receive after a hair transplant at Turkeyana  in Istanbul.

General Advice for Post-Operative Care in Turkey

After a hair transplant at Turkeyana , it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Immediately after the hair transplant, the patient should go home and rest, minimizing activity until the following morning.
• To reduce swelling, the patient should sleep with their head elevated at a 45-degree angle for the first one to three nights after the transplant.
• Avoid using any products containing aspirin or alcohol for three to five days after the surgery.

Bleeding After a Hair Transplant at Turkeyana 

If there is any bleeding the night after the operation or even a few days later, it can usually be stopped by applying firm, steady pressure to the bleeding area for 15 minutes. It is important not to check if the bleeding has stopped before the 15 minutes are over. The pressure applied should be firm yet gentle to avoid dislodging the grafts.

Pain After a Hair Transplant at Turkeyana 

Some patients may experience mild pain during the first one to two nights after the hair transplant procedure. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate medication for pain management. Use it as directed and only if necessary.

Wound Care After a Hair Transplant at Turkeyana 

Immediately after the surgery, you will be provided with a post-operative care kit containing:

• A spray bottle with sterile saline liquid, which should be used for the first three days after the operation.
• An ointment that should be applied to the donor area on the back of the head twice a day to prevent it from drying out.
• Sterile gauze to be used in case there is any light bleeding during the first few days after the operation.

Modern Hair Transplants at Turkeyanain Istanbul

Our hair transplant surgeons in Turkey utilize the most modern techniques to provide patients with natural-looking, permanent results. Our team has extensive experience in hair transplantation, offering the most appropriate and advanced methods for patients suffering from hair loss or those seeking to revise previous hair restoration procedures.

The evolution of hair transplant methods has led to the development of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. Like hair plugs, FUE also involves transplanting natural hair; however, the FUE method differs in that it transplants individual fine hair strands that follow the natural growth pattern of the surrounding hair.

The best part about the FUE hair restoration technique is that the results are so natural-looking that it’s almost impossible to tell a procedure was performed.

Physical Activity and Work After a Hair Transplant at Turkeyana 

When it comes to physical activity and returning to work, follow these post-operative care instructions:

• Avoid engaging in heavy work or sports for one week after the surgery.
• Refrain from weight lifting, heavy lifting, or swimming in chlorinated water for 10 to 14 days after the surgery.
• Some patients may return to light work the day after the operation, though many prefer to take two to three days off. Due to possible swelling and crusting following the procedure, some patients opt to take one week off from work. Crusting typically falls off within seven to ten days after the transplant.
