Can I Catch a Flight Right After a Hair Transplant?

Quick question Doc,

Can you fly straight after a hair transplant?

Thank you.

We do have quite a few patients that fly in from all over the country (and world), so this is a question we get a lot.

Many of our out-of-town patients will fly home the same day they have their hair transplant. I do suggest that they spend the first night locally after the procedure so they can come in early the next day and we allow us to wash your hair to minimize scabbing… and then fly home.
