Brief Explanations of Above

After all these strict and boring instructions, it can be hard to believe that a hair transplant operation at Sule Hair Transplant Clinic is easy and fun. Typically, patients are picked up from our contracted 5-star luxury hotel at 7:15 in the morning by our VIP vehicles and brought to the hospital. The procedure continues with a blood test and then a consultation with the doctor. During the surgery, patients wear regular clothes (we suggest a buttoned-shirt as it is comfortable to wear and take off), take a break to stretch or go to the toilet. We serve lunch at the hospital during a break. After the operation, patients are kept for observation and then taken back to the hotel by our vehicles.

Why should you stay away from alcohol and aspirin before Hair Transplantation?

The reason we do not allow patients to take aspirin products or alcohol is that they thin the blood.

Can I do exercises before hair transplant operation?

Running and heavy exercise just before the hair transplant operation can similarly thin the blood differently and is therefore prohibited.

Am I allowed to eat before the hair transplant operation?

Many patients opting for hair transplantation prefer sedation to ensure a painless procedure. Thus, those choosing sedation should abstain from eating and drinking for at least 8 hours before the operation. However, to ensure the comfort of the patients, lunch will be provided during the procedure.

What should I wear during the hair transplant operation?

We use large amounts of sterile water and disinfectant during the process. If they get on your clothes, it will stain them. So it’s not a good idea to come to our office on the day of the operation in a nice suit or a favourite shirt, grab an old shirt and worn jeans that you find comfortable and go downstairs.
