FUE Hair Transplant After-Surgery

October 13, 2024

After Surgery

While our surgeons are experts at performing the FUE procedure and delivering desirable results to patients, it is important for patients to take some post-surgery precautions to ensure speedy recovery:

Day of FUE

  • We discharge our patients with a head bandage after the procedure. We advise them not to remove it before going to the bed.
  • While sleeping, keep your head elevated. In case the donor area oozes, place a towel under your head.
  • In case of bleeding, use a sterile gauze to apply continuous and steady pressure on the bleeding area.

A Day after FUE

  • Remove the head bandage carefully before taking a shower the next day.
  • Take 3 showers and gently shampoo the scalp, in the morning, noon and night respectively. Wash your hair gently to ensure the scalp is free of blood or crust. After 2-3 days, shower twice on a daily basis.
  • In case of temporary swelling, use cold compression on forehead, 2 to 3 times a day, for almost 15 minutes.

Precautionary Measures after FUE

Although FUE offers a quick recovery time, patients can expect their newly transplanted hair to grow after 10 weeks. They get long enough to be groomed in about 6 months, and fully grown in 1 year after the surgery. However, patients should take necessary precautions for ensuring most promising results.

Here is a list of precautions that patients need to follow after the surgery:

  • Don’t sleep or lie on your face as it might cause swelling. Sleep with your head elevated to 30 degrees, at least for 3 days.
  • Don’t consume alcohol or alcoholic beverages for at least 3 days after the surgery.
  • Don’t comb or brush hair in the implanted area for 7 days after the procedure.
  • Avoid visiting dirty or dusty environment for at least a week after the procedure.

  • Shampoo very gently for the first week after the procedure. Since grafts are permanent, one can resume to normal hair care and shampooing after 10 days.
  • Restrain yourself from smoking for at least 2 weeks after the surgery.
  • Avoid consuming any kind of medications like that affect blood flow.
  • Don’t have a haircut for at least 3 weeks after the surgery.
  • Don’t expose the implanted area to direct sunlight for a month after the surgery. Cover your head with a hat or a cap to avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight.
  • Don’t color or dye your hair for at least 4 weeks after the surgery.
  • Consult our experts for prescription medicine in case of pain.
