After a transplant, it’s important to protect the grafts during healing. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, swimming, or sun exposure for at least 2 weeks. Sleeping with the head elevated helps reduce swelling. Mild shampoos recommended by the surgeon should be used for washing, while scratching or rubbing the scalp must be avoided. Techniques like DSHI minimize trauma to the follicles, making them more secure during early healing. Strictly following post-operative instructions ensures maximum graft survival and reduces the risk of complications, leading to faster recovery and better long-term results.
