Transplant Recovery and Aftercare

The weeks after a transplant are full of questions: how to sleep, when to wash, whether the shedding is normal, when you can go back to the gym. This course explains the usual reasons behind common aftercare instructions, so you can follow your own surgeon's plan with confidence. It covers the first night and the first wash, crusts and itching, the donor area, returning to work and exercise, shock loss, the growth timeline up to 18 months, and the signs that mean you should call your clinic today.
