Une technique qui consiste à enraciner des cheveux au niveau du cuir chevelu, une greffe de cheveux est une opération qui doit être réalisée avec précaution. Étant donné qu’il s’agit d’une intervention délicate, le patient est donc obligé de suivre certaines règles. Une fois que l’implantation s’est déroulée à merveille, il sera indispensable de prendre quelques précautions après la greffe de cheveux.
Actions à Prendre Dès Votre Retour à Domicile
Right after the operation, you will need to go home. However, you should avoid driving a car since the anesthesia will still be active. Be aware that a person under the influence of sedatives may be less alert during certain actions, such as driving. Therefore, the best solution is to have someone with you or call a taxi. When getting in or out of the vehicle, be careful to avoid any friction on your head.
Before your hair transplant, you should wear clothing that is easy to put on so that the follicles don’t come loose while you’re dressing. Ideally, choose a shirt or garment with a zipper. After the procedure, scabs may appear on the area where the hair was implanted. If this happens, don’t panic; you’ll just need to disinfect it. For the two days following your hair transplant beard ), you should either use a special disinfectant spray or spray with a saline solution every half hour.
La meilleure position pour dormir
For 72 hours, it is recommended to sleep on your side, on your back, or, if possible, in a semi-reclined position. After the hair transplant, the donor area will be protected with a bandage. To ensure the hair follicles remain intact, avoid contact between your head and other objects, such as your pillow. For optimal rest, gently elevate your head in bed.
It will only be after a few weeks that you will be allowed to sleep on your stomach and use multiple pillows. Furthermore, it will be necessary to choose your clothing carefully so that the grafted area does not experience friction. Always wear clothes with zippers or buttons, especially shirts. In addition to these precautions, do not forget to follow your doctor’s advice.
Ce qu'il faut savoir avant et après la greffe de cheveux
Generally, shaving is done by an expert, usually an assistant who understands the procedure. This way, the donor area, where the grafts will be taken, is well preserved. Keep in mind that your haircut will vary depending on the technique used. If it’s the FUE method , the follicular unit extraction will have no impact on the scalp at the back. However, if it’s the strip method, the assistant will need to take a precaution, leaving no more than two centimeters of hair in the donor area. Shampoo is only permitted three days after the procedure. To avoid damaging the grafts and to promote regrowth , it’s essential to choose a gentle product with a neutral pH. Here are the products you should absolutely avoid:
- Sudden movements;
- Sports activities;
- Equipment such as hair dryers;
- Accessories that get in the way of the head (cap, helmet, wig, etc.).
Quels Médicaments Sont Essentiels pour Soulager la Douleur Post-Greffe de Cheveux ?
Pain reliever: Paracetamol 1g every six hours only when needed for pain relief. Treatment duration depends on the patient’s discomfort (1 to 3 days).
Corticosteroids: Primarily, these should only be taken if forehead swelling develops, as we routinely use Abassi solution during a transplant to reduce the risk of forehead swelling. Also, in the case of a forehead transplant, it is strongly advised to wear a tennis headband to prevent potential swelling of the forehead and eyelids.
Sleeping pill: To be taken in case of sleep disturbance for the first post-op night and possibly the second and third nights.
