What should be my sleeping position now?can i wear hard cap or beanie cap?How to wash my head in shower now...
Answer: Neograft FUE Hi ricky9212, thank you for the questions!For 3-4 days post procedure sleep upright in a 45 degree angle, you can use either a recliner or stack pillows and place behind your torso. This will help prevent swelling of the scalp and forehead. DO NOT sleep on your face or on your side. Do not wash your hair for 48 hours after surgery. After 48 hours, get in shower but do not stand directly under the shower head because it is too much pressure for the grafts. At 48hrs you may place a dollop of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo in a cup of warm water and gently trickle over your scalp. Then, repeat this with warm water alone to rinse the shampoo. Do not touch the grafts or grafted site with your fingers or hands as to not disturb the grafts. You can wash the donor area (back of head) as usual. You may begin your normal washing and grooming routine after your scabs are healed and gone which is usually 10-14 days after surgery. Please check with your provider if there are any doubts.

Answer: NeoGraft Hair Restoration Thank you for your question. You should be able to sleep normally. NeoGraft provides a much more comfortable procedure and recovery experience than does the traditional hair transplant surgery, which involves a large incision for graft extraction. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your recovery instructions.

Answer: 2 week Threshhold Most physicians regard 2 weeks as a reasonable benchmark for returning to life as usual. To remove nascent grafts at this point would require the same degree of invasive trauma as was required to place them (i.e. you would need to draw blood).Generally speaking, you can return to normal sleeping and showering habits. I typically recommend patients avoid medicated shampoos or harsh chemical dyes for at least a month.Protocols will vary from physician to physician. Thus, it is always prudent to discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.

Answer: It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.

Answer: Sleeping position can help! For the first few days after surgery I recommend sleeping as upright as possible. This will reduce the swelling. After a few days (3-5 days) the swelling will have subsided and sleeping upright can help but as long as your not sleeping prone (on your face and grafts). Hope that helps!
