Many hair friends will ask whether sleeping at night will affect the recovery after hair transplantation. In fact, it may not have such a big impact on the hair transplant area, but the hair taking area is not. After all, the hair taking area is in the back of the head, so there will be friction when sleeping, so for many children who have done hair transplantation, they will have a bad rest in the first two nights after hair transplantation, It's not that I feel uncomfortable, but that I can't find a suitable way to sleep. So this article will talk about how to sleep after hair transplantation will not affect my recovery.
1. After hair transplantation
After the hair transplantation operation, the hospital will generally arrange 1-2 hours of postoperative observation time, during which the patient will be advised to lie flat on the rest bed and cushion the pillow 8-10 cm high. At the same time, the treatment towel will be spread on the pillow, and then the aseptic gauze will be spread on the treatment towel in multiple layers, so that the hair taking part will be pressed on the gauze. This method is conducive to the exudation of anesthetic and body fluid, so that the patient can adapt as soon as possible.
2. 1-2 days after operation
One or two days after the operation, patients with conditions can lie down and rest more at home. Appropriate exercise is conducive to metabolism. It is not recommended to keep a posture for a long time to watch TV or play computer games, nor to do activities such as lowering the head to play mobile phones, to prevent swelling of the forehead, eye socket, and ear after the operation. In these two days, it is also recommended to avoid water in the planting area and extraction area.
3. One week after operation
Try not to touch the planting area within one week after the operation, try to keep the position of lying on the side or on the back, and properly raise the pillow, which is conducive to local blood circulation, especially the speed of venous return. In order to better avoid touching the planting area, try to wear cardigan clothes within a week for easy on and off. Of course, it is not necessary to keep the same sleeping position all the time, as long as you lie on your side or on your back. Of course, the pillow should not be too high. You can change the pillow to a softer one. In addition, in order to reduce the swelling, the head can be raised one week after the operation. If the swelling is serious, you can lie flat more. Within 3 days after the operation, you can also use a slightly cold towel for cold compress, and 3 days after the operation, you can use a warm towel for hot compress on the swollen part to help speed up the detumescence.
