One of the big concerns of patients before surgery is the preparation for a hair transplant. Choosing a good clinic for the intervention will always be the first big decision. We can count on the clinic to be prepared to welcome us and do the best job. Then it will be the patient who will have to put everything on his part for the best hair implant.

And it is that they will not only have to see the care after the hair transplant. Previous care is equally important to reach the best conditions. The clinic may offer you a series of recommendations. This is the case of the Instituto Médico del Prado, where you will be given instructions to comply in the previous weeks.

Among the most important recommendations will be those that prevent bleeding from increasing during surgery, such as medication, caffeine consumption or intense sports. This can be inconvenient in the intervention and can increase the failure rate of the same.

Other hair transplant preparations

Among other recommendations in the days before surgery will be to not consume stimulant substances such as caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Its consumption could jeopardize the survival of the implanted follicles.

In addition, before surgery you can be told how to take care of your hair, whether you should shave it or not, or the clothing to use, so as not to damage the follicles. Also, in the previous days, it would be necessary to perform an analysis that represents data that can help the doctor to prescribe the best medication as well as the proper development of the surgery.
