Complete Patient Preparation Checklist for Hair Transplant in India

Eligibility and Consultation for Hair Transplant in India

Book an in-clinic or online consultation to confirm candidacy. The doctor assesses hair loss type, donor area quality, medical history, and expected results. Bring records of prior treatments. Alternatives like PRP, i-PRF, GFC, or SMP may be suggested if surgery is not suitable.

• Provide complete medical history including conditions and medications.
• Hair and scalp examination to check donor strength and recipient needs.
• Discuss techniques such as FUE, long hair FUE, or repair procedures.
• Plan outcomes with before/after photography for clinical records only.

Medical Testing and Scalp Preparation

Safety checks may include CBC, clotting profile, fasting or random blood sugar, ECG, and infection screening (HBsAg, HIV). Requirements are based on health profile. Some medications like minoxidil, anticoagulants, or supplements affecting bleeding may be paused two weeks prior if advised. Make changes only under medical supervision.

A healthy scalp supports graft survival. Use mild shampoo, avoid irritants or dye, maintain balanced nutrition. Avoid alcohol and smoking for several days pre-op to help healing.

• Protein-rich diet for tissue repair.
• Adequate hydration for scalp function.
• Consistent sleep to aid recovery.

Day-of-Surgery Preparation

Arrive on time and follow fasting or medication instructions from consultation. Wear clothing that does not need to be pulled over the head. Arrange transport home after the procedure. Bring consent forms, required documents, and personal care items. Patients having Hairline Design & Restoration or Hair Transplant Repair & Correction receive post-op care instructions immediately, including scalp cleaning and swelling management. Alloroots offers appointment slots from morning to early evening, with parking at most locations.
