After a hair transplant, it is essential to keep the head elevated at a 45-degree angle for several days to prevent swelling and protect the newly transplanted hair follicles. To achieve this, it is recommended to use a pillow that provides proper support to the neck and head while keeping them elevated.
A U-shaped travel pillow or a foam wedge pillow can be a good option for this purpose. These pillows are designed to provide support to the neck and head while keeping the upper body elevated at an angle, which is necessary after a hair transplant. It is important to avoid using regular pillows as they do not provide proper support and may cause discomfort and pain.
It is also important to avoid any pressure on the transplanted area while sleeping. Therefore, sleeping on the back is recommended, and it is best to avoid sleeping on the sides or stomach.
