Checklist for Patients to Prepare on the Day of Hair Transplant Surgery

One of the most common questions from people who visit Dana Plastic Surgery is the checklist patients need to prepare on the day of hair transplant surgery.

We’ll go over, one by one, what you should not forget to prepare in advance.

Checklist to Prepare on the Day of Hair Transplant Surgery ①

The first item on the checklist for the day of hair transplant surgery is fasting.

Fasting is essential for those undergoing sedation anesthesia.

Because fasting includes not only food but also water, you should not consume any food or drinks, including water, starting 6 hours before surgery.

However, if you are taking blood pressure medication, you should take it with the minimum amount of water needed to swallow one pill.

In some cases, even if the surgery is planned under local anesthesia, if you would like to proceed with sedation anesthesia, it is better to contact the clinic in advance or come after fasting, because if you arrive at the hospital on the day of surgery after already fasting, the hospital may reconsider the anesthesia method.

The second item on the checklist for the day of hair transplant surgery is to prepare clothes that are easy to change into after the surgery.

The clothes you wear after surgery should not irritate the surgical area.

T-shirts and tops with tight necklines are best avoided because they can irritate the surgical area, while shirts, zip-up tops, and loose-fitting tops are good choices because they do not irritate the surgical area. It is best to prepare clothing that can be put on comfortably without going over the head!

If you plan to wear a hat when going home after surgery, prepare one that can be worn loosely without being tight, and wear it lightly like draping it on.

The third item on the checklist for the day of hair transplant surgery is that, because it is best not to drive after sedation anesthesia, we recommend not bringing your own car.

After sedation anesthesia, a groggy state may continue, and driving could lead to dangerous situations, so we recommend using public transportation when coming to the hospital on the day of surgery, if possible.

It is better to come to the hospital without makeup so that the surgical area can be seen more clearly, and it is best to come wearing only basic skincare products.

The fifth item on the checklist for the day of hair transplant surgery is to bring along backup medication that you are currently taking.

Medications that you should definitely bring as backups on the day of surgery include blood pressure medication and asthma medication.

Therefore, if you are taking blood pressure medication or asthma medication, it is a good idea to bring your blood pressure medicine, asthma medicine, and nebulizer with you, just in case.
