Dear Dr. Rassman,
I am one day post-op from my first hair transplant. Right now, the only problem that I’m having is pain in the donor area. Can I sleep normally at night without disturbing the recently placed grafts? They told me to rest sitting up, but this is uncomfortable for me. Thanks.
Sleeping normally will work after a day or two post transplant. This information is something that should have been covered. Did you receive written instructions? By the time you read the post, you should be better. I always wonder why someone would ask me (a doctor they have not met) rather important questions when they have a doctor that they trusted to perform the surgery. I do appreciate the question, but your doctor should outline all of these issues for you.
