Трансплантация волос FUE

The hair transplantation procedure generally takes between 6 and 8 hours. During the procedure, patients have breaks for meals, drinking water, or using the restroom.

Patients do not need to stay at the hospital after hair transplantation. They are free to return home right after the procedure.

Staying in Turkey for 3 days is ideal for hair transplantation. The first day involves a physical examination and hair analysis, the second day is for the transplantation procedure, and the third day includes a post-op check-up with the doctor.

There are no limitations to undergoing other aesthetic procedures before or after hair transplantation. However, both the hair transplant doctor and the plastic surgeon should assess the patient separately. Seeking assistance from a patient consultant is recommended for planning both surgeries and avoiding inconvenience.

Patients should refrain from blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants like aspirin, ecoprin, heparin, coumadin, Plavix) for 2-3 days before the procedure. However, all regular medications should continue to be taken as prescribed.

The first hair wash is performed with a special lotion 1-2 days after the procedure. For the first 10 days, washing should be done using a lot of lotion to accelerate healing for scabs.

With techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), patients can generally return to work on the day after the procedure.

Patients can begin exercising after hair transplantation, starting with stretching and basic exercises for the first 3-4 days. For regular sports activities, waiting up to two weeks is recommended.

Hair transplantation should be performed by plastic surgeons or specialized medical staff authorized for this aesthetic procedure.

Hair transplantation is carried out under local anesthesia or sedation for patient comfort. Therefore, the procedure should be conducted in hospitals or sterile clinics.

The hair in the donor area is usually shaved regardless of the technique used. However, shaving the hair in the recipient area depends on the technique.

After hair transplantation, the donor area is covered with a compression dressing, while the recipient area is left open. The dressing should remain for 2-3 days after the procedure.

Wig wearers should stop using them one week before the hair transplant. If hair bonding glue is used on the scalp, it should be thoroughly washed before the procedure. Additionally, any sprays preventing hair loss should be discontinued one week before the operation.

Anyone with a sufficient number of grafts in their donor area can be a candidate for hair transplantation. There are no age, hair quality, or gender restrictions.

Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. If a patient has a systemic disease that could lead to complications after the procedure, the disease should be treated prior to transplantation. Those without enough grafts in the donor area are not recommended for hair transplant. Patients with ongoing scalp diseases should also receive treatment before transplantation.

Transplanted hair from the donor area does not shed as it is insensitive to testosterone. However, hair loss may occur in the upper or side areas of the scalp due to differences in characteristics. Transplanted hair does not shed, but pre-existing hair on the front and sides of the head might.

Shock hair loss, occurring about one month after the procedure, is normal, expected, and temporary.

It’s important to avoid swimming, sauna, heavy sports for six weeks. Refraining from smoking and alcohol aids in faster recovery. Patients can use the shampoo they were using prior to the procedure.
