How to Sleep After a Hair Transplant QA with Dr. A #shorts

Q&A with Dr. A: How should you sleep after a hair transplant?

– We provide a U-shaped neck pillow, like the kind you’d use on an airplane, it helps keep your head stable & from rolling around.

– We’ll usually prescribe something like Ambien to help you relax and stay still through the night.

– And the big one: sleep in a reclined, semi-upright position with your head higher than your heart.

Why? Because surgery creates a bit of swelling in the scalp. Sleeping upright helps gravity drain that fluid from the scalp down into the neck.

Leave us your hair transplant questions & we’ll cover them in the next Q&A with Dr. A!
