RE: Sleeping after hair transplant?
Well the good news really is that male baldness may have been a common thing in the past but not anymore. I think the topic of hair restoration/transplants is an exciting one as these days, men have been blessed with the gift of high-tech surgical transplant, and hair transplants are among the physical enhancements that are most sought after so it's great to see technology and cosmetic surgery advance together. Likewise men who have gotten hair transplant procedures tend to be more satisfied and happier than the ones living with patterned or uniform baldness.
So to answer your question, prior to the transplant, doctors advise their patients to sleep sideways or facing downward but not on their backs. Sleeping on your back can put pressure on the backside of your skull, which can result in swelling after the transplant. It may break your sleep cycle but not sleeping on your back can benefit you in the long run.
A spray by the name of Grafcyte is applied through the transplanted region to accelerate the healing process instead of heaps of bandages. This also prevents your follicles from fusing with the dressing. As fluid retention leads to the swelling of your scalp, you must be careful by placing the appropriate number of pillows placed around the neck and head with an agreeable consistency of fluff. Although swelling is inevitable, taking precautionary measures can help you reduce the extent of swelling. There's no need to freak out and stop sleeping all together. Just make sure that you've secured yourself with pillows enough to stop you from tossing and turning in excess. Also make sure that the affected area is rested carefully and comfortably. You can also turn to medication to reduce the swelling to an extent. Always remain in contact with your concerned doctor and inform him of any irregular or painful growths. You can also ask for pain-alleviating medicine if you're not sure about over-the-counter medicine consumption. |

RE: Sleeping after hair transplant?
Considering how bad my hair was when i joined the forum and how much it has improved following the advice from the forum and the mens hair book I feel like I have added some more years to my hair before going on to jump on having a hair transplant. |
