Pre Hair Transplant Surgery Instructions
Since we use only local anesthesia, our patients are encouraged to eat a normal breakfast.
The scalp has an excellent blood supply, so efforts to minimize bleeding help shorten the hair transplant procedure time and decrease the risk of bruising or swelling after the hair transplant surgery. Avoid medications or vitamins which can prolong bleeding.
Some of the medications that can prolong bleeding include: Aspirin and Aspirin containing cold and flu medications, NSAIDS such as Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Advil and Aleve. If you require NSAIDS for arthritis, new medications are available which do not cause bleeding. Please feel free to call for more information.
