After a hair transplant, it is important to take care of the newly implanted hair and scalp to ensure proper healing and growth. Here are some tips on how to sleep after a hair transplant:
- For the first two nights, adopt a semi-sitting position.
- Sleep on top of one pillow with a travel pillow around your neck to avoid damaging the hair transplant.
- Sleep on your back, facing up, with your head on a neck pillow to help keep your head elevated in the correct position.
- Avoid sleeping face down until 14 days have passed.
- Refrain from disturbing newly placed grafts.
- Sleep at a 45-degree angle to prevent disturbing newly placed grafts and help ensure proper healing with the grafts intact.
- Avoid tossing and turning or sleeping on your stomach.
- Avoid rapid movements or jolts that could damage the hair follicles.
It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by your hair transplant surgeon or clinic, as the aftercare process may vary depending on the individual case.
