1. How long should you have your hair grow in the donor area before the day of surgery?

2. Is it wise to buzz your donor area after the surgery? If so, does the doctor in this case Dr Hasson or Dr Wong do so? Or if you left it to long, will they trim it there?

3. I have heard numerous comments on the topic of hair transplants and smoking. Can you be a smoker and still get a hair transplant? I know your not a doctor however maybe you can answer this question.

4. When having a transplant, is it wise or better yet, do the doctors prescribe you with any antibiotic prior to the surgery?

5. I know that the cost of surgery can be costly however if you want quality work you look for the best. When a price is quoted for example with Hasson and Wong does this include all necessary medications and or products needed in order for your transplant to be successful? ( Not referring to Finasteride or Propecia )

6. I have read in numerous blogs and sites that I have researched, that typically you can return back to work in about 5 days to a week. For example Hasson and Wong, would they give a patient the ability of taking a short term disability from work in order to get the procedure done, travel back home and properly recuperate? Typically a minimum of 8-10 working days ( 2 weeks, MON-FRI) would qualify for a short term medical leave at any company.

7. Is it true that you need to sleep sitting down the first few days after you have a hair transplant?

8. How much bed rest is needed after the rest? Typically.

9. Should your head remain covered after the surgery? If so, for how long? (Taking into consideration germs and bacteria in the air etc)

10. Should one stop taking Propecia/Finasteride before the surgery?

I really appreciate your time and support in answering these questions. Your blog has helped me out immensely in a lot of doubts and or concerns that I have had for a very long time.

Once again, thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
