In a hair transplant procedure, it is usually not necessary to shave your head before surgery, unless it is required in a specific way. However, the decision on whether to shave your head may depend on the method that will be used during the operation, as well as on the practices and preferences of the particular clinic and doctor.
If the FUE (follicular single extraction) method is used, then the hair is usually not shaved before the operation. Doctors remove individual hair follicles one by one without having to shave the entire head. This method allows patients to maintain their existing hairstyle, and recovery from surgery is faster.
However, in some cases, doctors may suggest or require shaving your head, if this will facilitate the operation or improve the quality of the result. If you have any doubts or questions about the need to shave your head before surgery, it is best to discuss this with your doctor or the clinic where the procedure will be performed. Doctors can provide you with detailed information about how the operation will be performed and what preparatory actions, if necessary, should be performed before the procedure.
