Hair Replacement
Do's and Don'ts prior to Hair Replacementsurgery
While there are not many things that are do’s and don’ts for hair transplantation there are a few important things to understand.
-
Medications. Certain medications thin your blood and should not be taken within 3 weeks of surgery. The most notable is aspirin and aspirin containing products. Vitamin E and many herbal products also thin the blood and should not be used within 3 weeks of surgery. Dr. Cruise will go over this more thoroughly prior to the procedure.
-
Sleep. It is important to get a good night's rest prior to the procedure. If you think this may be a problem, please, do not hesitate to ask Dr. Cruise for something to help to sleep.
-
Eating. Do not eat within 2 hours of a hair transplantation. Please discuss all medications with Dr. Cruise.
-
Washing. It is a good idea to wash your hair the morning of hair transplantation and comb it straight back. Do not apply hair spray or any gels to your hair.
- State of mind. Remember, this should be a happy and exciting time. A certain amount of nervousness is normal but you must not be overly concerned. Put your trust and Dr. Cruise and CPS as they are well trained and experienced. Excessive worrying can actually be detrimental and you should discuss this with Dr. Cruise prior to surgery so that something can be prescribed to make sure you remain calm.
