A patient who undergoes a hair transplant Toulouse procedure must follow a strict after-care regimen. A bandage is usually worn to cover the head of every patient who has restoration surgery using a strip technique. Bandaging is only used to support the newly closed wound on the back of the head of the donor.
Pain and the anti-inflammatory medication are hence prescribed to patients for the first starting few days following the surgery. Following the surgery, the patient should avoid rubbing or scratching the transplanted area the first night.
Patients are advised to take it easy during the first few days and avoid strenuous exercise. After surgery, patients must visit their physician and have their strands washed.
What happens during the first visit?
This first visit entails removing bandages and assessing the transplanted strands and donor wound. During the second to fourth day after transplantation, the patient should be taught how to wash the recipient and donor areas at home.
It is essential to wash the hair twice a day after scalp recovery surgery to avoid dislodging the grafts. Patients want to avoid damaging the grafts within the first few days by not washing their hair.
“No” is the answer. Washing the hair before transplantation ensures that the grafts will grow normally.
Restrictions to follow after the procedure
The patient’s activities are restricted after a transplant. The rules for physical activity may be very strict at some clinics. Although there may be some limitations, patients are advised to maintain their usual daily routines.
Within the first four weeks after hair transplant Toulouse surgery, one should avoid activities that aggravate the wound edges at the donor area. Excessive neck bends and heavy lifting are examples of such activities.
Approximately ten days after the regrowth surgery, the patient must return to the transplant clinic to have the staples removed from their donor area (for patients who had strip treatment and their donor area is stapled shut) and reevaluate their donor area and recipient area.
After having their donor area closed with absorbable sutures, patients who have had FUE, eyebrow transplants, repairs, or body transplants need to be seen in 10 days to assess their healthiness.
Patients will not be charged for any follow-up visits after hair transplant Toulouse surgery. All follow-up visits are hence included in the initial cost of the overall surgery.
What transplant should I avoid?
Hair restoration surgery patients should be avoiding the direct exposure of the sunlight for a maximum starting 6 months. This is because the direct heat of the sunlight can cause a huge harm to the grafts and can also damage the skin color.
Approximately ten to eleven months after having their surgery, when the transplanted hair has reached its final thickness and length, is when clients need their last treatment follow-up appointment.
Evaluation of grafts transplanted and evaluation of the condition of the donor scar in the last session. In this visit, patients interested in repeating a transplant due to limited scalp laxity or extensive balding areas may have an opportunity to increase the density of hair or cover areas that were not completely covered by the first procedure.
If a repeat process is planned, all patients do not need to wait that long after their initial growth procedure. Repeat procedure can be performed after the fifth month after the initial process.
Conclusion
Although surgery prices & costs are important factors for most patients, they shouldn’t be a primary factor in choosing a particular hair restoration surgeon.
At most hair transplant Toulouse centers, the cost of a surgery is determined by the size of the “session” and not by the number of follicles transplanted. There are more strand follicles in some grafts than others.
