Days 1–10: The critical phase
| ✓ DO | ✗ DON'T |
|---|---|
| Sleep elevated at 45° for 5 nights | Sleep flat (increases swelling) |
| Take prescribed medications exactly | Take ibuprofen or aspirin |
| Wash gently with diluted foam from Day 2 | Rub, scratch or pick the recipient zone |
| Wear loose button-up shirts | Pull overhead garments over transplanted area |
| Stay indoors or use loose sun hat | Expose recipient zone to direct sun |
| Rest and light walking | Exercise, gym, sport (raises blood pressure) |
| Contact clinic if concerned | Smoke — reduces graft survival |
Weeks 2–4 and months 1–6

Months 1–6: Monthly photographs (same angle, lighting). Attend 6-month review. Protect scalp from intense sun. Consider PRP at months 3 and 6 for enhanced density.
