Choosing the Right Pillow After a Hair Transplant
After a hair transplant, maintaining the correct sleeping posture is crucial for protecting your newly implanted hair follicles and preventing post-operative swelling.
🛏️ Why Elevation Matters
Keeping your head elevated at a 45-degree angle for the first few nights after surgery helps:
- Reduce swelling in the forehead and around the eyes
- Prevent accidental contact with the grafts
- Promote healthy blood flow to the scalp
✅ Best Pillow Options
To maintain this position comfortably, we recommend:
- U-shaped travel pillows: Great for keeping your neck stable and preventing turning during sleep.
- Foam wedge pillows: These provide full upper-body elevation, ideal for consistent positioning.
- Stacked firm pillows (only if necessary): Use with caution—avoid regular soft pillows, which can lead to poor neck support or unwanted pressure on grafts.
🚫 What to Avoid
- Do not sleep on your sides or stomach for at least 7–10 days
- Avoid soft or shifting pillows that can flatten out or cause you to roll over
- Do not use a weighted or heat pillow, which can increase swelling
Sleeping on your back in an upright position is the safest option during the early healing stage.
