Most patients can return to work within 3–5 days after a hair transplant, depending on the procedure type and healing speed. Mild swelling or redness may persist for about a week, but these effects usually subside quickly. Thanks to minimally invasive techniques like UFME, recovery is faster compared to traditional methods. Patients working in physically demanding jobs may need extra rest before resuming strenuous activities. Following post-operative care instructions such as avoiding excessive touching, sun exposure, or heavy exercise ensures smooth healing and reduces downtime, allowing patients to resume normal routines with confidence.
