Planning recovery after hair transplantation
The scalp and grafts need protection during early healing, with washing and activity instructions supplied by the clinic. Early shedding does not necessarily represent the eventual growth result. Growth is assessed over a much longer period than wound healing. Arrange staged follow-up photographs and clinical review, and obtain instructions for severe pain or unexpected symptoms after leaving Korea.
Prepare before the appointment
Bring photographs showing progression and details of previous treatments. Ask for a donor assessment, a proposed recipient-area map and an explanation of grafts versus individual hairs in the quotation. Confirm who designs the hairline and performs harvesting and placement. Obtain clear instructions for medicines, scalp preparation, transport and early postoperative checks.

Explore procedure & clinicsSymptoms and complications to discuss
Bleeding, infection, anaesthetic reactions, noticeable scars and failure of some transplanted hair to grow are possible. Donor-site appearance and uneven results should be discussed as well as the frontal hairline. Ask who performs each stage, how donor harvesting is limited and how disappointing growth would be evaluated before another operation is proposed.
Interpreting the result as tissues settle
A transplant cannot provide unlimited density across every area. Native hair can continue to thin, which may change how a transplanted hairline looks later. A low hairline consumes donor resources that may be needed elsewhere. Neither FUE nor strip surgery is scar-free, and an advertised graft count does not by itself describe the likely visual coverage.

What written instructions should I follow for wound or skin care, medicines and activity restrictions?
When should I return for review, and what needs to be checked before I travel home?
Who will provide follow-up after I leave Korea, and what records should I take with me?
