Pre-Operative Consultation
The journey begins with a thorough pre-operative consultation with our skilled hair transplant specialist. During this consultation:
“The pre-operative consultation is a critical step where we assess your suitability for the procedure and discuss your goals and expectations.”
– [Dr. Rohit Somaiya]
- Assessment: Your surgeon will evaluate your current hair loss condition, donor area, and overall health to determine the best approach for your hair transplant.
- Goal Setting: This is the perfect time to communicate your hair restoration goals and ask any questions you may have.
Preparation Before the Procedure
In the weeks leading up to your surgery, there are several important steps to take:
- Medication: Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding medication. Certain medications, such as blood thinners, may need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: It’s advisable to refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption in the weeks prior to the procedure, as they can affect the healing process.
- Plan Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you to and from the clinic on the day of the procedure, as you will not be able to drive yourself.
The Day of the Procedure
On the day of your hair transplant, here’s what to expect:
- Arrival: Arrive at the clinic at the scheduled time. You will have a final consultation with your surgeon to go over any last-minute questions.
- Comfort: You will be made comfortable in the procedure room, and the surgical team will ensure you’re relaxed throughout the process.
- Procedure Duration: The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the number of grafts being transplanted. Be prepared for a full day at the clinic.
Aftercare and Recovery
Once the surgery is complete, you’ll be provided with detailed post-operative care instructions. Here’s what you can expect during the initial days and weeks:
- Medications: You’ll be prescribed medications to prevent infection and reduce swelling. Follow the prescribed regimen.
- Rest and Healing: Rest is crucial during the initial days. Avoid strenuous activities and follow your surgeon’s advice on when you can resume regular activities.
- Shampooing: You’ll receive instructions on when and how to shampoo your hair after the procedure.
