Preparing well is the key to a successful beard transplant. So, if you are planning to undergo surgical hair restoration in the near future to get a thick and full beard, here is a guide explaining in detail how to prepare for beard transplant. Follow the instructions below to make sure you prepare well for the surgery:

Four Weeks before Beard Transplant:

• Start performing skin stretching exercises as recommended by the surgeon.
• Stop trimming hair at the back of the scalp in a bid to maintain an adequate length of hair – about an inch.
• Protect yourself against allergies and infections. Immediately inform your doctor if you get one.

Two Weeks before Beard Transplant:

• Discontinue hair loss medication, if you are using any. These mostly include Minoxidil and Finasteride.
• Stop taking blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medicines containing aspirin or its derivatives.
• Stop consuming multi-vitamins as well as herbal supplements, as they also have blood-thinning characteristics.
• If you are on any blood pressure or diabetes medication, don’t forget to discuss it with your surgeon.
• If you are a smoker, quit smoking at least two weeks prior to the surgery. Smoking can hinder the quick healing and growth of transplanted hair.
