There are some issues that a patient who takes a day for hair transplantation should pay attention to before the operation in order to have a successful operation. Preparations before hair transplantation are very important for a successful and comfortable operation.
Before hair transplantation, you should have an idea about all possibilities and get information about the whole procedure. Before the hair transplant, you can get false information from your environment and social networks. Consequently, it is very important to get an expert opinion about hair transplantation. You should not forget that there are many factors that affect getting results in hair transplantation. First of all, you should determine how much hair transplantation you need in order to get an accurate result. You can start this with the correct determination of its current opening. This assessment should be done correctly and explained to the person in a correct and understandable way. As Elexus Clinic, we offer our patients VIP service before and after the operation.
Determining the Operation Day
The preparation process before hair transplantation starts with the determination of the day of the operation. While determining the operation day, the patient should choose a day in which he can rest for 2 to 3 days afterwards. It is not recommended for patients coming from out of the city to travel on the same day.
Pre-Operation Meal
Light meals should be preferred before going to the hospital on the day of the operation. Avoid foods that may disturb you during the operation and touch your stomach. It is recommended to stay away from caffeine-containing beverages such as coffee and green tea and carbonated beverages.
Clothing Selection
Special sterile clothes given for the operation are worn during the hair transplantation operation, but choosing clothes with loose head or buttons that you can wear and remove comfortably afterwards prevents damage to the hair follicles that will be exposed after the transplantation.
Smoking and Alcohol Use
Since it reduces the oxygen rate in the blood and causes various risks, it is important to not smoke for at least 1 day before the operation for successful results from hair transplantation. It should not be forgotten that smoking will also prevent the nourishment of new hair follicles after the operation.
Medication and vitamin use
Some commonly used medications such as painkillers, aspirin or vitamins may adversely affect the hair transplant operation process. Do not use any medication without consulting your doctor before the operation. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have any medications you use regularly.
Blood Test
Before having a hair transplant, some examinations are required to prevent the person from encountering a life-threatening problem during or after the hair transplant. With the blood test, it is checked whether the general health condition of the patient is suitable for the operation. The blood test is performed when the patient arrives at the hospital for the day of operation. 1 tube of blood taken from the patient’s vascular access is sent to the laboratory for analysis. Blood collection from the arm is completed in approximately 1-2 minutes. The results of the examination are produced in a short time and it is decided whether the patient is suitable for the operation.
Pre-Procedure / Required Examinations
-Complete Blood Count
-Platelet Count
-Bleeding and Clotting Time (Rate)
-Blood Sugar Level
During these examinations, the person’s sugar level, blood clotting rate, HIV virus, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, cholesterol are analyzed. If the analysis shows that the person who will have a hair transplant does not have a health problem, the preparation process for the operation continues. While hair transplantation is absolutely not performed for people with hepatitis B, C and HIV viruses, the approval of the doctor is required for people with heart and similar disease problems.
Approval Procedures
The procedure referred to as a patient consent form or an informed consent form is a form arranged with the personal information of the patient, in which the patient and their relatives are informed about the operation to be performed and the consent of the hair transplant is obtained. Since it is a procedure, this form should be carefully read and filled in. The patient consent form should be prepared specifically for each medical intervention. The consent form includes the patient’s identity information, residence information and contact information of a relative of the patient.
- The diagnosis made to the patient and the type of treatment to be applied, the risks that may occur during the operation should be included in the form to inform the patient.
- Do not sign the consent form without reading it.
- If you have any questions, consult your doctor.
- Fill in the information completely and accurately.
- Even if it is not included in the form, if there is a special situation that you need to tell your doctor, definitely request a private interview and share your problem.
Hair Transplant Planning
The patient, whose blood test results are obtained without any problems, is informed about the operation, signs the informed consent form and proceeds to the final hair transplant planning to be made before the operation. The answer to the question of how to do hair transplantation is mostly shaped within this planning. Hair transplant planning starts after the consultation with the doctor. As a result of the analysis, how many grafts will be removed, where the extracted grafts will be placed, how to create the forehead line are always calculated within the scope of hair transplantation planning, according to the level of hair loss and the density of the donor area.In hair transplant planning, the doctor achieves the closest to ideal planning by finding the right balance between the patient’s possibilities and wishes.

The number of grafts to be transplanted into the openings on the sides is determined by marking with hair transplant planning.
Hair Shave
The shaving process, which is necessary for the transplant doctor to collect and transplant the hair follicles more easily, is another step that prepares the patient for the operation. The shaving process is performed in the hospital environment so that the doctor can see the bald area one more time. Therefore, the hair should not be shaved beforehand. Shaved hair is approximately 3 mm. shortened in size. This size is the most ideal size for hair follicles taken with the help of a micro motor. While the shortening process makes the operation easier, it should be reminded that unshaved hair transplantation is also possible. If it is not desired to shave the hair, it should be stated to the transplant doctor beforehand.After hair shaving, the patient is taken to the operation room with sterile operating clothes. Hair transplant operations should be performed in a hospital environment and in operating rooms that comply with the Turkish Ministry of Health procedures.
