All this information and much more was given to me by my surgeon in the patient information leaflet prior and after my transplant . Your doctor did not tell you all this? Girl get a lawyer.
The problem is with hitting your head is because of so much anaesthesia you don’t feel your head. I hit my head at the same evening of a hair transplant while getting out of the car, and thankfully it was a donor area and blood was coming out also. what I would like to recommend is every time you walk around for the first three days in the house is to wear neck pillow. This will help you feel and realise where your head is and be extremely careful to not hit your head because of that as you’re wearing a neck pillow, the feeling of the neck pillow around your neck is allowing you to understand kind of your actual size of your head
As someone who loves sleeping on their stomach, this sleeping thing for 10 days will be esopecially challenging to me. But this is a small rpice to pay for the greatness I will acquire :). Already started training with a neck pillow.
I am 12 days post op the sleeping at a 45 degree angle is the hardest part, I am taking it further by sleeping like this for 14 days Everything else is pretty easy
5:19 My clinic told me doing cardio like running and sweating 7+ days post my surgery would be ok. But most definitely, no gym and heavy lifting for another week...
i'd say wait a full month, then start out with some brisk walking and then light jogging. once you build up some stamina then you can start going to lift heavy at the gym. it's a slow return but it'll be benefitial for you !
After my hair transplant 1.5 months ago (4100 grafts) I never stopped smoking 🚬 (in fact.. the first thing I did after te transplant was smoking a few sigarets in the car on the way home😮) And pre surgery I stuffed allot of snacks and locked myself up for 2 weeks. 😅 If someone wants to know if this somehow affected the transplant recovery. Respond to this reply in about 2.5 months😅
@@N-e.o good to hear! And did you smoke a lot? Im sticking with 3/4 cigs a day since the HT day. Hope its fine. Too hard to stay locked at home ALL day without cigs haha
Hi Amit, your result is amazing dude, congratulations. I have a question that I have not seen anyone talk about. How did you travel back home after the surgery? was your head exposed on the flight home? do they give you something to wear on your head for protection and to keep the germs away etc and generally so it doesnt look so confronting to other flight passengers? thanks in advance.
thanks man! I touch briefly on this in my next video right at the end about the airport heading back. The clinic does provide you with a bucket hat you can wear. I personally did not wear it because the hat is quite big in size and in all honesty looks very funny on you. I think going to the airport with my exposed head looked more normal because there were lots of others at the airport that had one transplants as well. You'll find so many others in the airport looking exactly like you with a headband or with their surgery done. I wouldnt say its much to worry about tbh, people will stare, but once you get the surgery done, you just look like any other bald guy!
I am a smoker and ihv done my transplant last month it's a shading face now and i am using minoxidil and finasteride solution once a day , and yeaa i started smocking 9 days after my ht surgery
after 11 days its recommened to get them off yourself as they can hinder and stop the growth process of your newly transplanted hairs if the scabs still remain for a long time after
depends on what your clinic and doctors say! mine recommended me not to use it on my transplanted area (because i didnt have much hair there to begin with). But if you still have existing hairs around your head, they say after a month you can start on it again
Hey Amit, great video. Do you really think we need to wait a month before getting back into the gym? My clinic mentioned that after 10 days you can get back into cardio just no heavy weights
ideally 1 month would be the best. You can always go earlier, but youre risking your head to become more sweaty, and that could cause infections and issues. I would start with light workouts (brisk walks), just to keep your fitness levels up and then once u hit the 1 month mark, you can start lifting weights. by the 6th week you can lift heavier
Hey bro I had my HT 2days back at Vera and oxycure yesterday. I was being very careful but same as you, bumped head while getting out of van. Much blood and i got scared. Doctor told me grafts not affected and they fixed it
I was told that coffee should be avoided in the first 14 days because it raises the blood pressure and this may damage the recently implanted grafts, should avoid also walking due to the same reason. Is that right?
the doc told me that people view you from the front more times than the back, hence they make sure the front looks amazing first then focus on the crown after
I also hit my head on my way to the airport to fly home. There was a little blood but I couldn't go back. Sad to know that it means that my grafts likely fell out 😢
My son did this hair treatment in Turku he cam back Canada but the bags are Daly in his medication on his bag watch dr give him so he is not using those medicines is that okay our no please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
yes its totally fine to dye after a year! clinics typically recommend after 6 months so 1 year later is totally fine. I personally do not dye my hair so i sadly couldnt give you any recommendations
they were a highly recommened clinic to me from others, and reviews online were great from them. The resutls showed, so I went with them! I can't speak for other clinics as i do not have any expereince with them
Appreciate all the info! Question - I got a beard transplant 5 days ago, the donor and the transplanted area feels so dry between washes and hurts because of dryness. Anything I can use to moisturize it?
I actually didn't take fin before! Only started after I got my transplant done and have kept my remaining hair since! I got it prescribed by an online GP. You can do that or get it from a local gp as well
Was this a nw6? Is not too many grafts at once?! I m having my trasplant on monday...i guess i m at your situation b4 op....all the clinic i contacted told me i need ( in order not to having scarfs ) to harvest the donor area in 2 times...and...if necessary harvest from beard...greeting from Milan and all the best . Rob
@@amitposthair cheers m8 i appriciate your feedback...It s Always a pleasure talk to someone Who has done It ..real report...here in Italy ..not many people talk about this " problem " for shame i reckon
@amit I did my HT at Vera 5 days ago too. Did your donor area start to hurt after 4 days? I had no pain in donor area for first 3 days but last two days it has started to hurt with throbbing pain. Been taking some painkillers. I haven't read about this pain anywhere
It does usually after the 4th day! Mainly because the anastasia is probably wearing off properly now.. so the aftershock of the pains trickling in.. but hang in there, it'll eventually subside in a few days!
@@amitposthair Also maybe the nerves are starting to regenerate? It's very frustrating! Btw I love your content and the more I watch it, the more I realise how similar our journeys have been - with mental and physical aspect of hair loss. I also bumped my head while getting into the Vera car after surgery. but thankfully did not dislodge any grafts lol
It's important to avoid those foods at the beginning as it affects your bloodstream in your body and may cause an impact on your newly transplanted hair. It's just best to eat healthy foods at least for a month then switch back to whatever diet you please once you've recovered fully
Lol how is every HT patient on RU-vid getting a full head of hair after 4 months of hair transplant. I am 23, had HT of less than 2500 grafts and its been 6 months, but I hardly see even 15 percent of result and can still see my scalp. Why is my growth so damn slow despite using Minoxidil and PRP.
sorry to hear that man! i think it also comes down to the quality of your donor hair. but it could be other things too. I'd say consult with your doctor if you still havent seen much progress after 6 months!
sounds like you may have hit your head? usually that happens if you've bumped your head somewhere. Hopefully its stopped now! Reach out to your clinic if its gotten any worse or if you have any major concerns
I have a full video going over this for both my transplant costs on my channel! You can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--MH12Kka0uY.html
Not immediately after as you should let your scalp dry off first! If you were a hat for thr first few weeks it should not be touching your scalp after your transplant!
@@younusyousuf1770 yes! As long as it is not tight on your head. A bucket hat is recommended as it is loose and will not stress your scalp. I personally only started wearing hats after 3-4 weeks. Then after 4 weeks I started wearing more normal caps
Very informative and simple videos. Just did my transplant 10 days back, find the right one to follow :) One query, is it fine to dye the areas which are not part of donor or transplanted ones ?
you could but I wouldnt risk it. It's important to know that even if you've just had your transplant, your whole head is undergoing trauma from the surgery, so attempting to even dye your remaing hair may cause issues when you have the shock loss and shedding phase and may increase more hair fall. I'd say you can start doing it after 45 days from the day of your surgery to be safe!
I got a transplant in Turkey 4 years ago , it wasn't as good as I thought and the injection was extremely painful, what clinic did you use and was it the needle to numb the head bro
i went to Vera Clinic in Turkey. The injections were a b*tch! They used that to numb my head as well. thankfully it wasnt too long of a process tho, so the pain subsided quickly
I'm the same. Fin and min have too many potential side effects for me to use. Granted, I haven't scheduled a hair transplant yet. Once it's over, I plan on continuing to take supplements like saw palmetto and stinging root, biotin, and other vitamins. Scalp massages and certain carrier and essential oils are what I find actually aid in hair regrowth. Very slow method, but it's working for me. It's a little too slow, hence why I intend to get a transplant surgery sometime in the future.
It's not necessary but highly recommended. Those two are clinically proven to work to help maintain and enhance hair growth even after a hair transplant, so for me personally I decided to commit to it. As for side effects, I haven't had any since I've taken it, but if u ever do experience any, you can stop it and look at other alternatives as
6k grafts is a lot. There's a difference in the post-op requirements compared to a hairline lowering procedure with 1-2k grafts. For example, you can wear certain hats as long as recipient area is not touched, and sleep as normal avoiding side and stomach positions.
Maybe a stupid question but the region the grafts are taken from do they grow back? I guess if it 6k that unless it grows back, it will show. Is there any deforestation in these regions? 😂😂😂
they dont sadly. its suppose to be permanently be taken out and placed on the top of your hair. But my donor area hair was really good so to be it does not seem like i lost alot, nor does it show!
This is great information. I suscribed to this channel. I am in the process of getting my first Hair Transplant and I am scared out of my mind. All this research has me seeing the good and the bad and I dont know if I should do this or not... need some feedback.
welcome to the family! honestly getting a hair transplant was one of the best decisions of my life. i've gotten my hair back, and my confidence back. I couldnt recommend it enough!
@@brutal4000 ideally wait at least 2 weeks before heavy drinking or any unhealthy food. But also generally you should avoid doing both of that for general health 😅
Hey, I am going to turkey in November and will be alone. I was interested in knowing what are the essentials one must have while returning back to home (like neck pillows etc.) Thanks!!
neck pillows are a must! and a good one too. I have aone i recommend to everyone which was really good for me here: Cabeau Travel Pillow: US: amzn.to/3mZlS39 UK: amzn.to/41yWXCG For other items, one imporant thing is to bring an extra buttoned shirt because youre going to want to change after a long procedure. Another thing is probably get check in baggage so you can bring back any shampoos above 100ml u purchase from the clinic (if you do). I made a full video on what to expect when u get to turkey here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGsU-HmIz0Y.html
Damn thats a lot of grafts at once 😮... the initial post op care is a must follow. Also, anything going forward with regards to medication and other hair care routine should be a routine and followed. I stopped routine and meds after 7yrs because I thought I was fine and hair started falling off again. My hairloss runs in the family so I may need to do surgery again in a few yrs when my natural hair falls out. Regarding 45deg, I was told thats an old method and to sleep as flat a spossible so that the fluids in the head would not try to go down my face and back towards the head... guys were given head bands to wear above their eyes, neck pillows and sanotary sheets to place on the pillows for fluids. After 7days I can now sleep with head elevated etc. My clinic was very in depth and a booklet was given on the timeline of what to do for a year plus other extras to go into the clinic and they will wash your hair for free if I was still in country. Also added a free laser hair therapy the next day after surgery as part of my package deal. Ye mate, I would be so upset too if I bumped my head, 😂😂. I have stayed in my hotel for 7days straight. I study online so its not a big deal for me.
you can start after 2 weeks from your surgery, so yes 15 days fine. Biotin definately helps, but there are others (like multiviatims, B complex, Magnesium, etc) that all contribute to healthy growing hair
You look amazing! I am getting a facelift and i want a hair transplant after my facelift (so exactly 10 days post facelift)...does anyone know if this can work or is there a chance the grafts won't be effective? I only want to lower my hairline so i wouldn't be adding grafts near the facelift incision areas. Only 1000 grafts
@@TNGBigTy187i wish i was rich😂....no, i am not. I just went to turkey to get it done. Of course, i have to travel alone for minimal costs. And i had to save for each procedure...which is very difficult to do in america.
@@VP-kr2vd I also saved, however I wasn’t sure if going to turkey was a good idea so I spent the money on peace of mind and got it done at a clinic in NYC
@@TNGBigTy187unfortunately i can't afford peace of mind😢😂...so i had to go to turkey. But i've had surgery done in both the states and turkey and i will say that every country has good and bad surgeons (even those with great reviews on realself sometimes slip up on a patient every now and then). I had revision rhinoplasty in new york by the best nasal surgeon last year and my nose still is problematic (i even have to go in for an open revision under local anesthesia so he can try to "fix it"). The lower cost of surgery in turkey doesnt equal crappy doctors....actually, many of the doctors in turkey have much more hands on experience in my opinion (especially the nurses that do hair transplants). The cosmetic surgeons are very skilled and much younger in turkey. The cost of surgery is cheaper in turkey because the cost of living is much cheaper....and opposite for the states (among other factors). I'm happy you're content with your hair transplant🙂
How did you overcome and endured the anesthesia injection pain? I’m ashamed to admit but I couldn’t bare the pain. For some reason I just started shaking uncontrollably and my surgeon got terrified, stopped the procedure. They actually thought I was having an epileptic seizure. But I’m not an epileptic. Still can’t figure out why my body reacted that way.
I got my half transplant today and I am gonna do other half tomorrow. And you are right. Those injections are fucking painful. When I just saw syringe of injection I got terrified as I have never seen such a big syringe. And the doctor also pushed the syringe all the way through. I also got terrified. But I sat through it. He did the same thing six times. But good thing was that after that I immediately went to sleeping. And woke up after 3 hours when surgery was done. No pain nothing. So that anesthesia was really worth it.
Sorry but for me it wasn’t so much a deal, and I had to have 2 producers DHI 5500 grafts so had to have anaesthesia 4 times in donor and recipient area. It really isn’t that bad
