Hair transplant surgery can usually be performed as a day surgery. Below is a detailed description of the hair transplant surgery process and the availability of day surgery.
Hair Transplant Surgery Process
Initial consultation and counselling :
- Before surgery, patients will have a detailed consultation with the doctor, where the surgical plan, expected results, and post-operative care will be explained to them.
On the day of surgery :
- The surgery is usually performed using local anesthesia, which allows the patient to relax and undergo the procedure without feeling any pain during the procedure.
- Depending on the surgical method, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) methods involve harvesting and transplanting hair follicles one by one .
Operation time :
- The duration of the procedure varies depending on the number of hair follicles to be transplanted and the extent of the procedure, but it usually lasts between 4 and 8 hours. Extensive procedures can take up to 10 hours or more.
Post-operative care :
- After surgery, your doctor will give you detailed instructions for your post-operative care, including how to keep your scalp clean, how to use medications, and any activity limitations.
Possibility of same-day surgery
Day trips possible :
- Most hair transplant procedures are same-day procedures, meaning patients can show up to the clinic on the day of surgery, have the procedure done, and go home the same day.
- You will need to rest for a few hours after your surgery, but you will usually be allowed to go home the same day.
Postoperative follow-up :
- Even if it is an outpatient procedure, postoperative monitoring is important. Regular follow-up examinations will be performed according to the doctor’s instructions for a few days to a week after surgery.
Important points to note
Support arrangements :
- On the day of surgery, you are encouraged to ask a family member or friend to drive you to the clinic. You should avoid driving after surgery.
Rest and recovery :
- After surgery, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise and rest for a few days. By following your doctor’s instructions and taking appropriate care, you can make a smooth recovery.
Follow-up :
- Even if you have same-day surgery, you will need regular follow-up care, including check-ups in the clinic and additional care if needed.
summary
Hair transplant procedures are usually performed as a same-day procedure, with patients able to go home on the same day as the procedure. Post-operative care and follow-up are important, and following proper instructions will ensure good results. It is important to discuss the specific details of your procedure and your individual case with your doctor in advance.
