A few days ago, I had hair replacement surgery to cover my hair loss and am having difficulty sleeping on my back. At what point can I sleep on my stomach again? I’m concerned about hurting the transplanted hair.
You can sleep however you are comfortable however, for the first 10 days, make sure you do not sleep with your newly transplanted hair touching or rubbing up against the pillow. This will take some strategic planning and placement of your head. As a stomach sleeper myself, I learned quickly how to put my head on the pillow without rubbing up against the follicular unit grafts. I’m sure with some practice you can too. 10 days after hair transplant surgery, the hair grafts will be fully secured and you will no longer have to worry about it 🙂
