The period after surgery is very crucial for the success of hair transplantation. You need to be careful and cautious during these days. At the time of surgery, blood and crusts were cleaned up properly. But, there is a chance of their reappearance. You should clean them properly and in a hygienic condition. This enables the healing mechanism of your body to secure the grafts firmly. To minimize crusting, doctors recommend daily shampooing beginning 24 hours after the procedure. The flow of the shower needs to be mild and should not create any pressure on the scalp.

Though hair restoration surgery (and the after) is less painful compared to the other surgeries, you can minimize the pain level with the help of medicines. The medicine may include mild sleeping pills and pain killers. If you take these medicines, avoid long driving and taking alcohol.

Swelling of the forehead for a few days after the medical hair restoration surgery is not as common in recent years thanks to new techniques. On rare occasions there might be bleeding in the grafted area. In such situation, you are advised to put firm and continuous pressure on that area to stop it. After the bleeding stops, clean the area with a towel or a hygienic napkin. If you can not check bleeding, contact immediately to the concerned doctor.

Itching starts when the transplanted area starts healing. Hence, you should not be worried as itching is the sign of recovery. In the initial days after the surgery, avoid any sort of exercise that includes neck flexing, putting pressure on neck or back. Be in regular touch with the physician to make the early days of recovery hygienic and safe.
