What is Hair Transplant? A General Overview

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair from the area between the ears, where the person's hair is strong and dense, is transplanted to the bald area. Medically, this is called AUTOLOGOUS TISSUE TRANSFER.

Medical History and Preliminary Consultation

Before hair transplantation, it is very important to provide your doctor with detailed information about your medical history. You should inform your doctor about ongoing treatments, conditions that require regular medication such as diabetes, hypertension, ulcers, and any medications you are taking. This information is critical to ensuring the operation is performed safely and successfully.

What to Pay Attention to One Week Before the Operation

One week before the operation, the use of blood thinners or anticoagulant drugs (e.g., aspirin) should be stopped. Alcohol consumption, due to its blood-thinning effect, should be ceased at least a week before the operation, or if not possible, at least 3 days prior. Smoking should be stopped at least a week before, or at least 3 days before the operation to avoid the negative effects of nicotine and reduce risks during the operation.

The intake of multivitamins containing B and E vitamins and herbal teas should also be stopped as they may increase the risk of bleeding.

Additionally, strenuous exercises (e.g., cardio or bodybuilding) should be stopped one week prior. Caffeinated beverages should be avoided the day before and on the day of the operation.

What to Pay Attention to on the Day of the Operation

On the day of the operation, your hair should be clean, and no chemical hair styling products (gel, hairspray, etc.) should be used. No local medication should be applied to the hair or scalp.

Additionally, make sure that the clothes you wear on the day of the operation are easy to remove, preferably buttoned or zipped. If the operation is scheduled for early in the morning, have a light breakfast, or if it is in the afternoon, have a light lunch. Feeling full will help make the operation more comfortable.
