Going Back to Work After Your Hair Transplant?

hair transplant restoration st louis missouriFor men and women who are experiencing hair loss, it is not uncommon for many of them to feel self-conscious and insecure. This is often the main reason for people to push themselves to get a hair transplant in St. Louis. Now in a perfect world, they would simply go back to work shortly after the procedure and show off their new hair. In reality, the insecurity and anxiety that they have about losing their hair in the first place often carries over to admitting they have invested in a hair transplant.

What Does Standard Medical Advice Suggest?
If you are feeling well enough after your hair transplant, then there is no medical reason why you can’t go back to work after just a couple of days after your procedure. You should know that getting rest after your surgery will aid in the healing process. If your job isn’t physically demanding, then there should be no reason why you couldn’t return to work. If you have a job that may require heavy lifting or some sort of manual labor then it would be best for you to stay out of work for at least two weeks. This will help you to avoid overexertion and will allow the transplant hair follicles to take a firm hold to your scalp.

Do I Want to Conceal the Fact I’ve Had a Hair Transplant?

If you are looking to hide the fact you had a hair transplant, there are a few things you can do so your co-workers don’t know. After your hair transplant surgery, you may have some very minor, slightly visible red spots. With NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplantation, these should clear up in just a few days, so there should be no concern.

You may want to consider scheduling your hair transplant surgery near a long weekend, or perhaps schedule some personal days near the end of the week. This will give your scalp an extra couple of days to heal and look natural again. A lot depends on your skin type and how quickly your scalp heals. Any visible signs of surgery typically heals in less than one week. Most often the donor area is shaved very close to the head. This will leave you with a cropped hair for a little while.

If you want to minimize the chance of your co-workers making comments about the length of your hair, start cutting it shorter a couple of weeks before your procedure. If you are happy about your procedure, and many are very happy after, you may want to open up about your procedure and help them decide to do something about their hair loss issue.
