Before surgery, it’s important to prepare your body and scalp to minimize risks. Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs, as these can increase bleeding. Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption should also be avoided for at least a week prior to surgery because they can impair healing and blood flow. Inform the clinic about any chronic medical conditions, medications or supplements you take, so we can tailor care and ensure your safety. A healthy diet, adequate rest and stress reduction also contribute to smoother surgery and recovery. Our team provides a full checklist during your consultation to ensure you are fully prepared.
