Checklist of Things to Prepare on the Day of Hair Transplant Surgery

Checklist of Things to Prepare on the Day of Hair Transplant Surgery 

Hello. 

This is Dana Plastic Surgery.  

On the day of hair transplant surgery, 

there are things patients need to prepare themselves 

and precautions to keep in mind.

On the day of hair transplant surgery, 

what exactly should you prepare yourself for 

and what should you be careful about? 

Let’s find out together with Director Park Jae-hyeon.

1. Fasting is essential for those undergoing sedation anesthesia

For those who will have surgery under sedation anesthesia, 

fasting is absolutely necessary.

Fasting also means no water,

and water is also prohibited from 3–4 hours before surgery.

However, with the minimum amount of water, 

you must still take your blood pressure medication.

Also, 

if you are planning to have surgery under local anesthesia but are wondering whether it could be changed to sedation anesthesia midway,

if you come after fasting in advance,

the anesthesia method can be reconsidered accordingly. 

2. Prepare a shirt so you can change easily after surgery

On the day of surgery, 

you should come wearing clothes that are easy to change out of.

Rather than a T-shirt or a tight neckline garment that has to be pulled over the head,

it is more convenient to bring loose clothing such as a dress shirt, or clothing that does not need to go over the head. 

 

You should also bring a hat.

It is best to prepare a hat that is not tight at all and sits loosely on the head,

and it is fine even if you do not have a guardian with you. 

3. No driving; use public transportation if possible

For transportation, 

if you are having sedation anesthesia,

you must not drive under any circumstances. 

It is best to use public transportation if possible.

4. Come without makeup except for basic skincare products

For women,

rather than heavy full makeup,

Director Park Jae-hyeon said that you should come wearing only basic skincare products and no makeup,

so that the surgical area can be seen more clearly.

It would be best to come without makeup

and only apply basic skincare products before visiting. 

5. Prepare backup medication if you are taking blood pressure medicine, asthma medicine, etc.

When you come for surgery,

there are certain medications you should bring just in case.

These are blood pressure medication and asthma medication.

If you take blood pressure medicine,

it is a good idea to bring an extra dose when you take your morning medication,

just in case.

Also, if you have asthma and take asthma medicine,

be sure to bring it,

and prepare a nebulizer as well in case of an emergency. 

. . .

So far,

we have looked at the checklist of things to prepare on the day of hair transplant surgery

together with Director Park Jae-hyeon.

At Dana Plastic Surgery,

we always strive to provide convenience for our patients, and if you ever have any questions or discomfort,

please do not forget to contact the hospital.
