Patients will need to take off work the day of the surgery. Due to the anaesthetic, patients may wish to stay home from work for an additional day or two if they are experiencing symptoms of drowsiness or nausea.
Most patients are able to return to work the day after their hair transplant procedure. The pain and discomfort should subside within a day or two, but mild soreness may persist for several days following the surgery.
Cosmetically conscious individuals may want to spend more time away from work or social activities. The procedures require shaving of the donor area, which can create an awkward appearance for the first several days after surgery. The insertion sites may also appear red and swollen for several days following the surgery.
