Sleeping
Elevate head with 2-3 pillows or travel pillow for first week. Avoid sleeping on sides where grafts may rub against pillow.
Exercise
Light walking after day 5. No gym, running, swimming, or contact sports for 2-3 weeks. Sweating can irritate grafts.

Swelling
Mild forehead/eye swelling is normal days 2-4. Sleep elevated, apply cold compresses to forehead (not grafts). Resolves naturally. Contact Dr. Tushar via WhatsApp if excessive.
Itching
Common during healing. Never scratch! Use prescribed anti-itch spray or gently pat with cool cloth. Dr. Tushar can recommend soothing solutions via WhatsApp.
Shedding
Transplanted hairs fall out between weeks 2-6. This is normal shock loss — follicles remain alive. New growth starts at month 3-4. Patience is key!
Redness
Pinkness in recipient area can last 2-4 weeks. Use gentle care, avoid sun exposure. Fades naturally with time.
When to Contact Dr. Tushar Immediately
Via WhatsApp, reach out anytime if you experience:
- Excessive bleeding or severe pain not controlled by medication
- Signs of infection: fever, chills, pus, spreading redness
- Sudden, severe swelling or difficulty breathing (rare)
- Any concerns about graft appearance or healing
Dr. Tushar responds within hours — your recovery is our priority!
Sleep with head elevated for the first 5-7 days. After scabs fall off (around day 10), you can gradually return to normal sleeping positions. Dr. Tushar will confirm based on your healing via WhatsApp.
Loose hats can be worn after 7-10 days. Tight caps or helmets should be avoided for 3-4 weeks to prevent graft damage. Dr. Tushar provides specific timing based on your recovery.
Avoid gels, sprays, and styling products for 1 month. After that, use gentle, alcohol-free products. Dr. Tushar can recommend suitable products during your WhatsApp follow-up.
Wait at least 6-8 weeks before any chemical treatments. Always consult Dr. Tushar before coloring to ensure grafts are fully settled.
