Precautions to take before FUE Hair Transplant
Do’s and Don’ts before FUE hair transplant procedure
- Arrive on specified time in the clinic for a FUE hair transplant. It is necessary for the optimum results that patients arrive on time. Too much delay may result in compromised outcome.
- Have a breakfast before coming in the morning. There is no need to come on empty stomach.
- Wear a simple buttoned shirt. Don’t wear a T shirt for hair transplant. Putting on T-shirt after a hair transplant is a cumbersome process.
- Have a good night’s sleep before the hair transplant.
- Drink lots of water, dehydration isn’t good for you.
- Have shower before coming to the clinic.
- Do not apply hair gel/hair oil/any other cosmetic product before coming to the clinic for a hair transplant.
- Do not trim or shave your hair on your own before coming to the clinic. This not only removes all the landmarks, but too close trimming/shaving may lead to cancellation of the procedure. Trimming or shvaing is done by the doctor himself right before the procedure.
- Don’t smoke or drink alcohol for 2 weeks prior to the hair transplant.
- Don’t plan on driving home/try going home after the transplant on your own. We do not allow that. We can assist you to book a cab service. But it is for your own good that you go along with a relative or a friend.
- Don’t eat a lot of spicy food. Bland food will prevent you from getting hyper-acidity.
