Contraindications after hair transplantation
The following is a list of the most important prohibitions after hair transplantation
1. Driving a car
Some doctors perform a hair transplant by anesthetizing the patient, in which case it is advised to avoid driving for at least 24 hours.
Therefore, it is recommended to take an accompanying person before the hair transplant operation in order to take the person home safely.
2. Sleep flat
You must sleep by raising the head to the top after the operation in order to avoid the occurrence of swelling and its increase, for a period of at least seven days following the operation.
Not all people are exposed to swelling in the place of hair transplantation, but it is not recommended to sleep flat in order to avoid any complications.
The head should be raised at an angle of 45 degrees when sleeping at night.
3. Neglecting to take the medications prescribed by the doctor
One of the worst things a person can do is neglect to take the medications prescribed by the doctor after the operation. The antibiotic prescribed by the doctor should not be neglected in order to avoid any infections or complications after the operation.
You must also follow the doctor''s instructions regarding taking pain-relieving medications, such as not driving after consuming some types of medications, for example.
4. Forgetting to apply cold compresses
Do not neglect to put a bag containing ice on the area above the eyebrows for a period of 20-30 minutes in the event of feeling any swelling, as this helps protect the person from infection and works to relieve pain.
5. Try to remove the scales
The formation of crusts in the place of hair transplantation is normal and does not cause concern and does not require an attempt to remove it completely. The crusts should be left on the scalp and avoid trying to remove them until they disappear on their own.
6. Washing hair
Hair should not be washed for at least 48 hours after the completion of the hair transplantation.
7. Sun exposure
It is not recommended to expose the scalp directly to the sun for at least two weeks, but it is recommended to cover the hair before leaving the house.
8. Exercise
It is not recommended to exercise at all after hair transplantation, as blood pressure and heartbeat must be kept in a stable condition in order to avoid stimulating inflammation and increasing swelling in the hair transplantation area.
It is also not recommended to do sports that cause sweating at all after the transplant.
9. Smoking
It is not recommended to smoke for a full month after the operation, as blood flow is very important for hair growth, and smoking negatively affects the blood flow process in the human body.

It is not recommended to wear tight hats or a protective helmet used for safety or to ride a bicycle for at least one month after the procedure.
