Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery!

Hello

This is Dana Plastic Surgery.

Once you decide to undergo hair transplant surgery, there are a few things to prepare.

We’ve put together a checklist of things to prepare before hair transplant surgery that many people get confused about and want to know, so please check it in advance before your surgery!!

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery!

What should you prepare before hair transplant surgery?!

When consulting about hair transplant surgery,

this is probably one of the questions people ask most often when visiting Dana Plastic Surgery.

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ①

The first item on the checklist before hair transplant surgery is:

If you have decided to have your head shaved for an unshaven procedure,

it is best to have the shaving done at the hospital on the day of surgery!!

The reason is that there are various shaving methods for unshaven procedures.

For example, there are different shaving methods such as full shaving, buzz cut, two-block cut, and partial shaving,

and to get the shaving that suits you, it is better to have it done at the hospital rather than at a hair salon.

Even if you have already shaved at a hair salon,

you will need to be shaved again at the hospital on the day of surgery using the method that suits you.

So there is no need to shave in advance before surgery!

For those undergoing a strip procedure, partial shaving, or a two-block cut,

it is best to keep the hair on top long in order to cover the surgical area (the donor area where grafts are harvested).

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ②

Now I’ll explain about dyeing and perming, which many people ask about before hair transplant surgery.

Many people ask whether it is okay to dye or perm their hair before hair transplant surgery,

and dyeing and perming are not a problem even if you do them before surgery!

That is because regular dyeing and perming do not greatly affect the surgical results.

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ③

If you have a lot of gray hair, dyeing it in advance may be helpful.

However, it is best to dye it very carefully!

If there is a lot of gray hair, the color difference between the gray hair and the scalp is not as noticeable, so it is harder to see.

Because of this, the risk of damaging the follicles increases,

so when dyeing, it is important to carefully dye not only the donor area but also the transplanted area.

If you are having an unshaven hair transplant,

the hair within 1 mm of the outside of the skin is used,

so it is a good idea to tell the hair salon to dye carefully all the way down to the scalp!!

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ④

Before surgery, you may use hair products such as mousse, gel, and oil,

but on the day of hair transplant surgery, you should come without using any hair products so that the procedure can be performed more comfortably!

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ⑤

What is the fifth item on the checklist before hair transplant surgery?!

The fifth checklist item is:

whether it is possible to wear a wig after hair transplant surgery.

Wigs can be worn starting 3 to 4 days after surgery.

When you receive a consultation before hair transplant surgery,

it is best to bring your wig with you and ask about whether you can wear it so you can check in advance,

and if you need the wig on the day of surgery, it is a good idea to bring it and have it checked.

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ⑥

If you are taking any medication, it differs depending on the type of medication,

so it is best to contact the hospital in advance and check beforehand!

Medications that are recommended to be stopped in advance before surgery include vitamins and health supplements.

Since vitamins and health supplements can cause bleeding,

it is recommended to stop taking them 1 to 2 weeks beforehand.

It is best to refrain from alcohol and smoking starting 3 days before hair transplant surgery!

And let’s take a look at stopping medications such as aspirin and warfarin,

which are taken due to cardiovascular issues or other health problems.

If you are taking aspirin, you should stop taking it 5 to 7 days before surgery,

and if you are taking warfarin, you should stop taking it 3 days before surgery!

You can start taking aspirin and warfarin again immediately after the surgery is over.

Checklist Before Hair Transplant Surgery ⑦

If you are taking hair loss medications such as finasteride, Pantogar, Pantovigar, or dutasteride,

you should continue taking them without stopping the medication!

Most medications not mentioned can also be continued,

so if you want more detailed information, it is best to contact the hospital where you are having the hair transplant surgery.
