While appearance factors are important when it comes to hair replacement surgery, safety is the most important factor. Safety is the most important consideration before surgery takes place, during surgery, and then during the recovery phase. One key is choosing a fully qualified physician who specializes in the field; this physician will understand all the required safety procedures.
Your physician will take into consideration individual physical reactions and healing abilities. Part of safety is minimizing any scarring. Fortunately, the procedures today are completely geared around safety—plus minimizing discomfort and scars. While there can be no guarantee for every procedure, technology means the risk of complications is minimal.
In some cases, it's possible that grafts will not be effective. The doctor will likely repeat the surgery. The hair transplant surgery specialist will let you know about the procedures and safety factors if there's a need to repeat some grafting.
You will be asked to follow important safety procedures when it comes to eating, drinking, smoking, dietary supplements, and prescription medication. One important safety consideration: stop smoking at least one week before surgery. That's because smoking can slow the flow of blood and may interfere with healing. Once the surgery has taken place, it can be important to rest for at least two days.
It's rare to experience pain after surgery. If there is some pain, the doctor may prescribe pain medication. Stitches are removed 7-10 days after surgery so it's important to avoid exercise while the stitches are in place.
To ensure that surgery follows all the safety procedures, it's vital to make sure you consult with a specialist in hair replacement surgery.
