How to Care for Your Grafts after Hair Transplant Surgery
One of the questions most often asked by hair loss sufferers on our Hair Restoration Forum and Social Network is how to care for your newly transplanted hair in the days and weeks following hair restoration surgery. While it is always best to follow your hair transplant surgeon’s aftercare advice, there are some basic rules of thumb to be aware of.
- Do not bump your head the first few days after a hair transplant.
- Do not pick at the scabs on your head with your nails.
- Avoid extreme sweating for the first 10 days post-op.
- Sleep at an incline for the first 7 to 10 days.
- Walking can minimize swelling the first 7 days post op.
