Determination of the hairline

After passing the clinic and doctor selection stages, the most important issue to be considered before hair transplantation is the determination of the hairline. With an aesthetic approach, the hairline should be planned in harmony with the facial features. Care should be taken to determine the hair starting points that suit you together with your doctor you trust.

Ceasing the consumption of tobacco and alcohol

Patients who smoke and drink alcohol are advised to stop these habits a few weeks before hair transplantation. If possible, these habits should be quit. In this way, the body is prepared for the hair transplant procedure and the healing process is faster.

Control of medicines used continuously

Before hair transplantation, especially if there are medications used continuously due to chronic diseases, these must be shared. If blood thinners are used, they should be called one week before hair transplantation. However, dose adjustment for blood thinners or other medications used continuously should be made under the control of the relevant specialist physician.

Nutrition and hair care

Some foods and drinks such as green tea, ginger, turmeric, red pepper and fish oil may have a blood thinning effect. Therefore, consumption of these foods should be reduced before hair transplantation. On the day of the procedure, light foods should be consumed before the procedure. Hair care products should not be applied to the hair and shampoo should not be used before the day of hair transplantation.
