5. How long does a hair restoration operation last?

• Usually, between 1,500 and 5,000 grafts are transplanted during a hair restoration surgery, which could take an entire day for each patient, depending on which hair transplant method is being used.

• This means that usually the patient comes in the morning and he or she has the operation completed by the end of the afternoon.

6. How much time does it take to recover?

• With the modern micro hair transplant techniques in Turkey, the incisions are extremely small and less invasive than procedures in the past.

• This means a smaller recovery period, with most people feeling fine in a day or two after the procedure, although a certain numbness and mild discomfort could be experienced in the following days as well.

7. What are the post-op instructions?

• After a hair transplant in Turkey, it is important to follow these directions:

right after the surgery, the patient should go home and rest, with as little activity as possible, until the following morning;

to accelerate the decrease of the swelling, the patient should sleep with his head elevated at a 45 degree angle in the following one to three nights after the transplant;

the use of any products which contain aspirin or alcohol should be avoided for three to five days after the surgery.

8. When can I start working after a hair transplant surgery?• Some patients get back to light work

the day after the operation, although most of them would rather take at least two or three days off.

• Because there is a certain possibility of swelling and crusting after the transplant, some patients would rather take one week off after the operation.

• However, crusts will normally fall off seven to ten days after the operation.
