BEST TIPS FOR AFTER CARE OF HAIR TRANSPLANT IN MEXICO

Many places dedicated to hair restoration procedures focus only on explaining the process, leaving recovery aside. We, as the professionals that we are, want to explain a little more about recovery and why you should do it in a place as beautiful as Cancun.

  • Home sweet home, the best place to be for recovery

When the procedure is finished, a gauze pad will be placed around your head, covered by a protective cap. The gauze will be removed during the postoperative exam, which is usually the next day. Once it is removed, you will not need any type of bandage.

Try to lie down for as long as possible, as if you constantly stand up, you are likely to develop some swelling. Eat healthy foods and take antibiotics and pain relievers prescribed by your doctor; it’s important that you’ll get them after the surgery in case you need them.

  • Take your medicines

If you feel a little bit uncomfortable, you can take a pain reliever within 4 hours of taking the first one. Most patients do not need pain relievers after the first day, but antibiotics should continue for the length of time recommended by the doctor.

Take the necessary precautions to avoid injuring yourself at night. Take care that your head remains in an optimal position, away from areas where the scalp can be subjected to pressure or to be rubbed, even with the pillow. In addition, it is advisable to sleep with your head slightly elevated to improve blood flow.

  • Keep the graft area moist constantly

The most common strategies to keep the newly grafted area moisturized include frequent spraying of the scalp with a saline solution or topical application of an ointment to keep the grafts hydrated.

There are a few things you can do to keep the hair transplant area moist enough to care for. One of them is to wash it continuously, but this activity must be done very carefully; For this reason, we will give you some tips to make it the best possible.

  • Sorry, you can’t go back to exercise just yet

Avoid vigorous exercise routines after surgery. Really. We don’t want you will be in pain, swelling and general discomfort. It does not mean that you stop walking or stretching in moderation, the restriction is for strenuous exercise only. After 7-10 days, you can gradually increase the pace and intensity of the exercise, but always paying attention to how you feel while doing it.

And no, don’t worry, it’s not from perspiration, but from intense physical exertion, which increases pain and swelling. If this happens, the recovery will take more time and you can risk the surgery because you can lose some of the hair follicles transplanted while you worked out.

  • Keep clean the transplanted area

There is no indication not to wash the receiving area on your scalp. You can give it a daily wash to make sure it doesn’t scab over, which could hurt a lot. To do this, you can use a sponge to carefully massage the area,

If scabs appear, massage gently with a cotton-tipped swab, which should be moistened with soapy water. Don’t rub too hard – just run the cotton tip lightly over the scalp. With that light touch, the scabs will be removed without damaging the delicate blood vessels that form around the implant.

10 days after the procedure, the hair wash can go back to how it was before the hair transplant and you can resume some of your normal activities But, the most important thing is to choose the best place to recover. The comfort of your home is incredible, but why not in Cancun? Contact us and have a great hair again. We are waiting for you.
