How Should You Sleep After a Hair Transplant?
Proper post-operative care is crucial for the success of your hair transplant. In the first days following the procedure, how you sleep can directly impact the survival of the grafts and the overall healing process.
🛏️ Sleeping After Hair Transplant Surgery
Sleeping flat or on your side too soon may put pressure on the freshly implanted grafts, increasing the risk of dislodging them or causing unnecessary swelling.
To protect the grafts and minimize swelling:
- Sleep with your head elevated at a 45-degree angle for at least the first 3–5 nights
- Use 2–3 firm pillows or a travel neck pillow for stability
- Avoid turning or rubbing your head against the pillow
- If possible, sleep on your back to prevent contact with the recipient area
💡 When Can You Return to Normal Sleeping Position?
Most patients can go back to sleeping in their usual position within 7–10 days, once the grafts are firmly rooted and the scalp has begun to heal.
Your surgeon will provide personalized instructions based on your graft count and the technique used (e.g. FUE or DHI).
