1 How To Take Care of Hairs After Transplantation Hair transplant is commonly a surgical technique that usually performed to cover the balding part of men with artificial hair follicles. In this technique, surgeons move hair from one area to another. Firstly, they clean the balding part or area properly. After that remove hair follicles from recipient area and implant the hair follicles. After the hair transplantation process, you need to take care of your hair properly, use recommended medications, avoid bathing in swimming pool, avoid physical exercises and activities, and stay concern about warning signs that the bud (graft) is infected. Surgeons usually take care of each hair follicle and perform hair transplant in Delhi. Follow the Instructions and Directions of Surgeons for Faster Recovery: Take Care of Your Hair After Hair Restoration Stay concern about side effects after hair transplantation- You need to be concerned about side effect and risks before hair transplantation surgery. It usually take time to cure injuries after hair implantation. Injuries may heal before the time or it may take few months to recover. Do not panic, if you lose some hair after hair transplant. It is normal your hair will grow naturally. Though it might take time to grow new hair. Other Common Risks After Hair Transplantation Include- Bleeding. Infection. Keloids. Pain. An unnatural looking hair. Death of hair follicles may not result new hair growth. Cover Your Head Properly With Towel or Clean Cloth Properly cover your head with soft cloth or towel for one day after hair transplant surgery. Be careful while removing that soft cloth from your head. If your incision area is covered with bandage, remove it slowly after 24 hours. Lift Your Head at Night After hair transplant surgery, you need to sleep properly at night. Lift or raise up your head while sleeping. Make sure your hair grafts are safe. You should follow this procedure for at least three days after surgery. It will surely restrict swelling. Try to use reclining chair to rein movement. You can also use 2-3 pillows while sleeping. But be careful your grafts may not stretch.

2 Pay Attention to Warning Signs After the surgery, you may notice infection, swelling, redness on your scalp. Follow the doctor's instructions properly and take proper rest for some days to recover soon. If infections are increasing then hair grafts are not placed properly on balding area. In this case, consult your hair transplant surgeon immediately. You may surely notice other signs and symptoms after surgery such as fever, yellowish pus, and severe pain. In this condition, talk to your doctor immediately. Use ice cubes to overcome swelling. But do not place directly on the grafted part. Place an ice cube on the back part of the head. Take Your Medications on Time Some medications are recommended after the hair transplantation surgery. You need to take medications on time for faster recovery. Probably Your Surgeon May Prescribe- Anti- inflammatory medicines which helps to cure swelling, pain, bleeding and yellowish pus. An antibiotics that cure infection. Do Not Scratch Your Head After surgery, you may feel itching on grafted area for some days. Do not rub or scratch the transplanted area it may cause hair fall or pain. Do not pull your hair, be very carefully after transplantation. Avoid Round- Necked t-shirt After hair transplant surgery, start avoiding round necked t-shirt. Round necked t- shirts may harm your hair. Wear loose and comfortable t- shirts that would not pull your hair while wearing and removing. Prefer buttoned shirts and loose neck t- shirts. Avoid Bathing in Swimming Pools Avoid bathing in swimming pools after the hair transplantation process. As swimming pools contain excess of chlorinated water that may create problems with your hair transplant surgery. You need to avoid swimming pools for at least two weeks after surgery. Avoid Physical Exercise or Activity It is compulsory to avoid strenuous exercise it may irritate your hair grafts. Protect your head properly by following specific instructions of doctor just for few days. Surgeons usually transplant hair at low cost or an affordable cost. They commonly perform best hair transplant in Delhi. As compared to other cities and countries hair transplant cost in Delhi is low.
