What is the recovery process for a hair transplant like? How long does recovery take?

Hair transplants are an outpatient procedure, meaning you can expect to go home the same day of your procedure. Your physician will prescribe necessary medications, like antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and pain medications to aid in your recovery process. In the days following the procedure, you may experience soreness and discomfort at the transplant site as well as the area where your hair follicles were recovered from. Your physician may recommend aftercare tips for the days following your procedure, such as guidance around washing your hair, exercise, and how to care for your scalp.
