Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is not necessary to take antibiotics after a hair transplant surgery in general.  However your doctor may have a specific reason or a regimen.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Although we give a dose of antibiotic just before and after each hair transplant there is no evidence to show that it needs to be continued.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Actually there is no need to use antibiotics after HT for a couple of days or a week.. I give one dose before and one dose after hair restoration surgery to my patients and think that much is enough .

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

We have found that is is not necessary to take antibiotics after a hair transplant. We use a single dose of diclocaillin at the time we start the transplant.  The best prevention against infection is a thorough wash before the surgery
