Before you go — preparation
Hair transplant
- Stop smoking and alcohol at least a week before your procedure if you can
- Pause blood thinners and supplements like aspirin, vitamin E and fish oil only after checking with your clinic
- Arrange a loose, button-up shirt for travel day so nothing rubs the new grafts
- Book a hotel close to the clinic for the first wash and any follow-up
- Take clear photos of your hairline now so you can track growth later
- Plan for at least 10 to 14 days off work if you want the redness to settle first
