4.Avoid direct exposure to sun 2 weeks
5.Avoid gym, sports, etc
6.Avoid alcohol and smoking

8.Avoid hitting your head.
All this information and much more was given to me by my surgeon in the patient information leaflet prior and after my transplant . Your doctor did not tell you all this? Girl get a lawyer.
My clinic said sun is actually very healthy. But not too strong and too long.
nr 5 is mentioned mainly for avoiding sweat
Just waiting for your crown transplant and honest review as usual
Thank you for great video, just had HT todays ago had barely got any sleep
Excellent vidéo👍
Good advice
Thank you very much.
Superb thank you very much,excellent advice
The problem is with hitting your head is because of so much anaesthesia you don’t feel your head. I hit my head at the same evening of a hair transplant while getting out of the car, and thankfully it was a donor area and blood was coming out also. what I would like to recommend is every time you walk around for the first three days in the house is to wear neck pillow. This will help you feel and realise where your head is and be extremely careful to not hit your head because of that as you’re wearing a neck pillow, the feeling of the neck pillow around your neck is allowing you to understand kind of your actual size of your head
Brilliant Result bro. Thank you for information
you're welcome!
One crucial bit that you missed mentioning is for how long to observe these advices.
Thanks for sharing that. I'd love to see the back of your head to see how that turned out
Damn thats a lot of grafts at once 😮... the initial post op care is a must follow. Also, anything going forward with regards to medication and other hair care routine should be a routine and followed. I stopped routine and meds after 7yrs because I thought I was fine and hair started falling off again. My hairloss runs in the family so I may need to do surgery again in a few yrs when my natural hair falls out.
Regarding 45deg, I was told thats an old method and to sleep as flat a spossible so that the fluids in the head would not try to go down my face and back towards the head... guys were given head bands to wear above their eyes, neck pillows and sanotary sheets to place on the pillows for fluids.
After 7days I can now sleep with head elevated etc. My clinic was very in depth and a booklet was given on the timeline of what to do for a year plus other extras to go into the clinic and they will wash your hair for free if I was still in country. Also added a free laser hair therapy the next day after surgery as part of my package deal.
Ye mate, I would be so upset too if I bumped my head, 😂😂. I have stayed in my hotel for 7days straight. I study online so its not a big deal for me.
Great advice! They did a great job! Would you recommend the clinic you went to or Smile Clinic in Istanbul?
i would recommended mine based on my own experience. I had a good time there and the results show!
I hit my head too when I was washing my face once near the sink. A bird also shat on my head 5 days into the transplanted on the corner temple side
holy.. crap!
5:19 My clinic told me doing cardio like running and sweating 7+ days post my surgery would be ok. But most definitely, no gym and heavy lifting for another week...
i'd say wait a full month, then start out with some brisk walking and then light jogging. once you build up some stamina then you can start going to lift heavy at the gym. it's a slow return but it'll be benefitial for you !
Hi! Thanks for this video! When you talked about vitamins/supplements - is there any one thing you can recommend?
yes! i have a full video talking about which ones i take and have
th-cam.com/video/DCzE16f6b8E/w-d-xo.html
6k grafts is a lot. There's a difference in the post-op requirements compared to a hairline lowering procedure with 1-2k grafts. For example, you can wear certain hats as long as recipient area is not touched, and sleep as normal avoiding side and stomach positions.
Why cant you sleep on the side ? As long as ur head is elevated and not touching your transplant hair?
@@teddypicano you can probably get away with it
Great video :) Thank You. When do You think its best to start with topical Minoxidil after HT?
depends on what your clinic and doctors say! mine recommended me not to use it on my transplanted area (because i didnt have much hair there to begin with). But if you still have existing hairs around your head, they say after a month you can start on it again
@@amitposthair thank you for your opinion :)
Hi Amit, your result is amazing dude, congratulations. I have a question that I have not seen anyone talk about. How did you travel back home after the surgery? was your head exposed on the flight home? do they give you something to wear on your head for protection and to keep the germs away etc and generally so it doesnt look so confronting to other flight passengers? thanks in advance.
thanks man! I touch briefly on this in my next video right at the end about the airport heading back. The clinic does provide you with a bucket hat you can wear. I personally did not wear it because the hat is quite big in size and in all honesty looks very funny on you. I think going to the airport with my exposed head looked more normal because there were lots of others at the airport that had one transplants as well. You'll find so many others in the airport looking exactly like you with a headband or with their surgery done. I wouldnt say its much to worry about tbh, people will stare, but once you get the surgery done, you just look like any other bald guy!
@@amitposthairdid you get shock loss too? I’m on week 4 now and am noticing some hairs fall off when I touch my scalp
Hi Bro ..14 days over for my hair transplant..can I start to massage with maxi restructuring and hair loss ampoules ..is it good?
Super 🎉❤
Will high blood pressure hinder recovery?
Hey Amit, great video. Do you really think we need to wait a month before getting back into the gym? My clinic mentioned that after 10 days you can get back into cardio just no heavy weights
ideally 1 month would be the best. You can always go earlier, but youre risking your head to become more sweaty, and that could cause infections and issues. I would start with light workouts (brisk walks), just to keep your fitness levels up and then once u hit the 1 month mark, you can start lifting weights. by the 6th week you can lift heavier
As someone who loves sleeping on their stomach, this sleeping thing for 10 days will be esopecially challenging to me. But this is a small rpice to pay for the greatness I will acquire :). Already started training with a neck pillow.
yeahh its definately tough for the first few days, but once you get into a routine and habit, it isnt soo bad
I'm finding that really hard but eventually you're so tired you just fall asleep. Painkillers helped
Appreciate all the info!
Question - I got a beard transplant 5 days ago, the donor and the transplanted area feels so dry between washes and hurts because of dryness. Anything I can use to moisturize it?
did you clinic provide you with a moisturizer? they did to me so i ended up using that! if you dont have one, you can get a similar one from amazon!
My son did this hair treatment in Turku he cam back Canada but the bags are Daly in his medication on his bag watch dr give him so he is not using those medicines is that okay our no please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
I go for hair transplant on friday, not really looking forward to the weeks after tho :D
Congrats on going to get it! Don't worry, trust the process and you'll be fine!
Hi, i am gonna ask u please, there are channels or lines on my recipient area, so what does it mean? Please answer me a.s.a.p
I am a smoker and ihv done my transplant last month it's a shading face now and i am using minoxidil and finasteride solution once a day , and yeaa i started smocking 9 days after my ht surgery
Finistride is a very dangerous harmaceutical
@amit I did my HT at Vera 5 days ago too. Did your donor area start to hurt after 4 days? I had no pain in donor area for first 3 days but last two days it has started to hurt with throbbing pain. Been taking some painkillers. I haven't read about this pain anywhere
It does usually after the 4th day! Mainly because the anastasia is probably wearing off properly now.. so the aftershock of the pains trickling in.. but hang in there, it'll eventually subside in a few days!
@@amitposthair Also maybe the nerves are starting to regenerate? It's very frustrating! Btw I love your content and the more I watch it, the more I realise how similar our journeys have been - with mental and physical aspect of hair loss. I also bumped my head while getting into the Vera car after surgery. but thankfully did not dislodge any grafts lol
@@eshanpotnis ahah thanks man appreciate it!! Hope your growth journey goes just as well!!
Thank you!
Please lemme know the negative side effects u get after a year
And how often u visit the clinic base on your hair
I never received any negative side effects after a year!
Was this a nw6? Is not too many grafts at once?! I m having my trasplant on monday...i guess i m at your situation b4 op....all the clinic i contacted told me i need ( in order not to having scarfs ) to harvest the donor area in 2 times...and...if necessary harvest from beard...greeting from Milan and all the best . Rob
yes i was nw6! good luck on your transplant!
@@amitposthair cheers m8 i appriciate your feedback...It s Always a pleasure talk to someone Who has done It ..real report...here in Italy ..not many people talk about this " problem " for shame i reckon
Did you start taking fin before the transplant? How long before the procedure ? And where did you get the fin from...your GP or online prescription?
I actually didn't take fin before! Only started after I got my transplant done and have kept my remaining hair since! I got it prescribed by an online GP. You can do that or get it from a local gp as well
@@amitposthair I was told with the hair transplant clinic I was going with that I need to take fin first as my hairloss has not stabilised
Did you go with oral or topical Fin?
Lol I also hit my head on top of the van the day after my procedure. Luckily didn’t bleed after
ahah yeah it sucks when it does! gotta be careful!
Hit mine at 3 grafts came off,totally stressed
Hi Amit, do you have any video where you can wash your head by yourself without visiting barber shops for that
yes! that video will be coming out very soon!
Appreciate it 🙏
You look amazing! I am getting a facelift and i want a hair transplant after my facelift (so exactly 10 days post facelift)...does anyone know if this can work or is there a chance the grafts won't be effective? I only want to lower my hairline so i wouldn't be adding grafts near the facelift incision areas. Only 1000 grafts
You must be very rich
@@TNGBigTy187i wish i was rich😂....no, i am not. I just went to turkey to get it done. Of course, i have to travel alone for minimal costs. And i had to save for each procedure...which is very difficult to do in america.
@@VP-kr2vd I also saved, however I wasn’t sure if going to turkey was a good idea so I spent the money on peace of mind and got it done at a clinic in NYC
@@TNGBigTy187unfortunately i can't afford peace of mind😢😂...so i had to go to turkey. But i've had surgery done in both the states and turkey and i will say that every country has good and bad surgeons (even those with great reviews on realself sometimes slip up on a patient every now and then). I had revision rhinoplasty in new york by the best nasal surgeon last year and my nose still is problematic (i even have to go in for an open revision under local anesthesia so he can try to "fix it"). The lower cost of surgery in turkey doesnt equal crappy doctors....actually, many of the doctors in turkey have much more hands on experience in my opinion (especially the nurses that do hair transplants). The cosmetic surgeons are very skilled and much younger in turkey. The cost of surgery is cheaper in turkey because the cost of living is much cheaper....and opposite for the states (among other factors). I'm happy you're content with your hair transplant🙂
I stoped when I saw your video post
Nice Review, but my hair is white, is it ok to dye it after a Year? and what kind of Dye is appropriate? Thanks a lot.
yes its totally fine to dye after a year! clinics typically recommend after 6 months so 1 year later is totally fine. I personally do not dye my hair so i sadly couldnt give you any recommendations
@@amitposthair Thanks Amit for ur kind support.
My surgeon said a beer a fine the next day. Let alone 2/3/4 weeks
Hi Amit i want to know if there is any numbness after the surgery. If yes for how many days do you have it..?
there is! the anastesia will remain in your hair fo ra few days, at least a week or so. But after that it will subside and you'll be back to normal!
I have had done my transplant still numb after 3 weeks
When did you start drinking alcohol?
And when did you start drinking alcohol in larger quantities?
about 2 weeks after. I dont really drink in larger qualities generally, but usually maybe 1 oe 2 drinks a week
When will someone be able to shave the donor area?
they say after 45 days would be okay!
I was told that coffee should be avoided in the first 14 days because it raises the blood pressure and this may damage the recently implanted grafts, should avoid also walking due to the same reason. Is that right?
yes they do advise to avoid on coffee for the first 2 weeks. Walking is fine though, or else you'd never get anywhere! lol!
How did you overcome and endured the anesthesia injection pain? I’m ashamed to admit but I couldn’t bare the pain. For some reason I just started shaking uncontrollably and my surgeon got terrified, stopped the procedure. They actually thought I was having an epileptic seizure. But I’m not an epileptic. Still can’t figure out why my body reacted that way.
it was painful not gonna lie! but i just sat through it. Sorry you couldnt go through it, but maybe it was for the best!
I'm guessing the surgical pain is significantly more acute than a tattoo?
I got my half transplant today and I am gonna do other half tomorrow. And you are right. Those injections are fucking painful. When I just saw syringe of injection I got terrified as I have never seen such a big syringe. And the doctor also pushed the syringe all the way through. I also got terrified. But I sat through it. He did the same thing six times. But good thing was that after that I immediately went to sleeping. And woke up after 3 hours when surgery was done. No pain nothing. So that anesthesia was really worth it.
Уколов 30 мне сделали), да , это самое болезненное в этой операции!))) Надо просто терпеть
Sorry but for me it wasn’t so much a deal, and I had to have 2 producers DHI 5500 grafts so had to have anaesthesia 4 times in donor and recipient area. It really isn’t that bad
What about the pain on the donor area at night ? Its killing me. It comes on and off. What do you recommend?
the clinic usually provides painkillers to deal with that. You can take those first it will help significantly!
I played tennis 22 days post surgery. Do you think it will affect my result?
Not as much! Just try to avoid excessive sweating for the first 30 days.. After that it should be okay
I had hair transplant yestreday , and i was expose to sun ( not too strong ) for maybe 1 hr , would that afect me ? It won t happen again anyway
That should be ok. Just don't be in the sun too long with harsh sunlight for long periods and u should be ok!
This video is just a commercial to your other videos lolll
When can I start to use hair fibers?
about 2/3 months after
Maybe a stupid question but the region the grafts are taken from do they grow back? I guess if it 6k that unless it grows back, it will show. Is there any deforestation in these regions? 😂😂😂
they dont sadly. its suppose to be permanently be taken out and placed on the top of your hair. But my donor area hair was really good so to be it does not seem like i lost alot, nor does it show!
Had my implant yesterday and had a few blood running down from the implanted area to my forhead ...is that normal?
sounds like you may have hit your head? usually that happens if you've bumped your head somewhere. Hopefully its stopped now! Reach out to your clinic if its gotten any worse or if you have any major concerns
@@amitposthair thanks was told its normal it's been 9 days since my implant..can't get enough sleep ..will get my 11th day wash on Monday
Isn't it better to let the scabs fall off on their own rather than removing them on day 11 post-op?
after 11 days its recommened to get them off yourself as they can hinder and stop the growth process of your newly transplanted hairs if the scabs still remain for a long time after
does anybody know when to start taking hairvitamines after hairtransplant? i thought after 15 days right? should i just take biotine pills?
you can start after 2 weeks from your surgery, so yes 15 days fine. Biotin definately helps, but there are others (like multiviatims, B complex, Magnesium, etc) that all contribute to healthy growing hair
After my hair transplant 1.5 months ago (4100 grafts) I never stopped smoking 🚬 (in fact.. the first thing I did after te transplant was smoking a few sigarets in the car on the way home😮)
And pre surgery I stuffed allot of snacks and locked myself up for 2 weeks. 😅
If someone wants to know if this somehow affected the transplant recovery. Respond to this reply in about 2.5 months😅
All these conditions of what not to do is just overkill...not based on research
How It its? Just had mine and smoked few cigarretes right afted
@@gufreestyle96 do not worry, it's absolutely fine!
@@N-e.o good to hear! And did you smoke a lot? Im sticking with 3/4 cigs a day since the HT day. Hope its fine. Too hard to stay locked at home ALL day without cigs haha
@@gufreestyle96 I smoke an average of 10 cigarettes a day. I eat quite unhealthy and never on time. No problems at all👍
Do you have to use finasteride & minoxidil? I’m scared that my thingy might not work anymore. I’m Weslee Pipes for a reason,
I'm the same. Fin and min have too many potential side effects for me to use. Granted, I haven't scheduled a hair transplant yet. Once it's over, I plan on continuing to take supplements like saw palmetto and stinging root, biotin, and other vitamins. Scalp massages and certain carrier and essential oils are what I find actually aid in hair regrowth. Very slow method, but it's working for me. It's a little too slow, hence why I intend to get a transplant surgery sometime in the future.
It's not necessary but highly recommended. Those two are clinically proven to work to help maintain and enhance hair growth even after a hair transplant, so for me personally I decided to commit to it. As for side effects, I haven't had any since I've taken it, but if u ever do experience any, you can stop it and look at other alternatives as
@@bluespiral4678 yeah i just wanna take natural stuff for hair like horsetail & the stuff you mentioned.
Topical fin is a good alternative for those with side effects from oral Fin. Seems to be relatively new (since 2022/2023).
Why did you chose Vera as a clinic. What would you say us the best clinic in turkey regardless of the cost
they were a highly recommened clinic to me from others, and reviews online were great from them. The resutls showed, so I went with them! I can't speak for other clinics as i do not have any expereince with them
Same shit happened to me, out of clinic after 9 hours, climbing into van, nurse says watch your head, so i hit my head on roof!! FFS!!!
lmao right?? its so easy to hit your head in those vans!
How often do you take finestaride?
i take it once a day at the moment! planning to reduce it to every other day
@@amitposthair Why are u planning toreduce it?
@@kilokureciho8931because clearly he is experiencing side effects and is lying that he isn’t.
How long after haircut with scissors your new hair ?
i waited 3 months!
Very informative and simple videos. Just did my transplant 10 days back, find the right one to follow :)
One query, is it fine to dye the areas which are not part of donor or transplanted ones ?
you could but I wouldnt risk it. It's important to know that even if you've just had your transplant, your whole head is undergoing trauma from the surgery, so attempting to even dye your remaing hair may cause issues when you have the shock loss and shedding phase and may increase more hair fall. I'd say you can start doing it after 45 days from the day of your surgery to be safe!
I also hit my head on my way to the airport to fly home. There was a little blood but I couldn't go back. Sad to know that it means that my grafts likely fell out 😢
sorry to hear that man! but if it wasnt a huge area then you probably wont even notice you lost those grafts in the long run!
No it really wasn’t a huge area thank goodness! It was much less blood than you showed in your video.
What was the cost ?
I have a full video going over this for both my transplant costs on my channel! You can find it here:
th-cam.com/video/-MH12Kka0uY/w-d-xo.html
can i drink tea after the hair transplant surgery
i would say wait a week at least!
what about sex or masturbation, will it affect the result?
its recommended to wait a week or 2 before usin your tool down there lol. I'd say, keep yourself distracted until then!
Can we use cap after head wash
Not immediately after as you should let your scalp dry off first! If you were a hat for thr first few weeks it should not be touching your scalp after your transplant!
@@amitposthair After 15 days of hair transplant. Can i use the cap
@@younusyousuf1770 yes! As long as it is not tight on your head. A bucket hat is recommended as it is loose and will not stress your scalp. I personally only started wearing hats after 3-4 weeks. Then after 4 weeks I started wearing more normal caps
I got drunk the day before my surgery and got drunk 6 days after... nothing happened
LOL thats one way to do it. I think its more about the timing of recovery. Alochol thins your red blood cells, thus making recovery slower
Many got infection in newly hair transplant and that is difficult
I have been eating burgers since last week it’s not effect on my transplant
It's important to avoid those foods at the beginning as it affects your bloodstream in your body and may cause an impact on your newly transplanted hair. It's just best to eat healthy foods at least for a month then switch back to whatever diet you please once you've recovered fully
@@amitposthair thank you very much Amit I really appreciate your help 🙏
Fast food doesn’t enhance blood sugar level maybe you wanted to say spikes blood sugar level
B7 is good too! I do not take that specific one, but I take B-complex, which has some B7 in it already.
Drink plenty water and buy vitamins from Walmart to have daily
What about masturbation?
When can one do after a transplant?
you... can lol. but i'd suggest waiting at least 1-2 weeks to let your body recover from the procedure
Lol how is every HT patient on TH-cam getting a full head of hair after 4 months of hair transplant. I am 23, had HT of less than 2500 grafts and its been 6 months, but I hardly see even 15 percent of result and can still see my scalp. Why is my growth so damn slow despite using Minoxidil and PRP.
sorry to hear that man! i think it also comes down to the quality of your donor hair. but it could be other things too. I'd say consult with your doctor if you still havent seen much progress after 6 months!
Broooo working out broooo
broooooo
Can you scratch transplanted area 2 months after HT, my scalp has been extremely itchy and i cant help it. I hope i havent damaged any grafts
try not to scratch! rub lightly instead to avoid damaging your grafts! Also, make sure you cut your fingernails just in case!
Hey u seems like slightly Indian are you an indian bro?
I am of indian ethnicity! 😅
How about marijuana
not advised as it has the same effects as smoking!
Avoid banian and T shirts
great tip! should be using buttoned or zip shirts!
I got a transplant in Turkey 4 years ago , it wasn't as good as I thought and the injection was extremely painful, what clinic did you use and was it the needle to numb the head bro
i went to Vera Clinic in Turkey. The injections were a b*tch! They used that to numb my head as well. thankfully it wasnt too long of a process tho, so the pain subsided quickly
@@amitposthair just had mine at vera clinic today, and your not lying about the injections, they really suck 😂
Why do the clinics always concentrate on the front of the head rather than crown?
the doc told me that people view you from the front more times than the back, hence they make sure the front looks amazing first then focus on the crown after
