Important Things to Know Before Eyebrow Transplantation

Proper preparation before undergoing an eyebrow transplant is vital for achieving optimal results and minimizing complications. By adhering to these pre-procedure recommendations—covering diet, medications, hygiene, and lifestyle adjustments—you can ensure a smoother surgery and a faster, safer recovery.


Key Guidelines

  • 48 Hours Before the Procedure:

    • Avoid foods that promote blood clotting (e.g., liver, red meat, lamb’s head and trotters, certain fruits, legumes, vegetables, nuts, tomatoes, and honey).

    • Refrain from caffeinated beverages, energy drinks, and natural fruit juices.

    • Do not smoke cigarettes or use hookah.

  • One Week Before the Procedure:

    • Use a ketoconazole shampoo daily to maintain scalp hygiene.

    • Inform your physician of any acne or skin issues on your forehead or scalp.

  • 48 Hours Before the Procedure:

    • Take 500 mg of cephalexin every six hours to reduce infection risk.

  • Morning of the Transplant:

    • Consume a full, balanced breakfast and ensure you are well-rested.

  • On the Day of the Procedure:

    • Wear a front-opening garment (e.g., button-down shirt) to avoid disturbing the graft site.

Following this checklist will help optimize your procedure and support a smooth recovery. Consult your transplant specialist for any additional concerns.
