I've had my 2nd transplant done 3 days ago on my crown. 2nd night I just slept on my front and sides and kept crown away from pillows. Much better for me
In addition I recommended to place a pillow under you knees while sleeping. It helps to maintain your position during sleeping. I started to sleep better after using the under knee pillow. Congrats on your new hair implant. I got mine September 2023
I had my hair transplant done 3 days ago. I am sleeping really few hours 4/5 hours a night. I find it more comfy to sleep on our reclining sofa with my neck cushion. I am a bit swollen in my face. The swelling seems to change by the day. From forehead to cheeks to nose to eye bag appearance. I just can’t wait to be able to sleep comfortably in bed on my side!
After six months I feel great and confident. I totally recommend turkey. My expectations were low because I didn’t want to get disappointed. Speed recovery, you will look incredible.
Im on a day 3 and I'm sleeping literally the way Amit explained how to, and the best part of it is that I'm somehow comfortable sleeping that way lol. Norwood 6a here, first HT with DHI done. Day 1: 2804 grafts extracted Day 2: 3750 grafts extracted so in total a bit more than 6500 grafts.
@@up488 Thats true bro however I just hit 4th month yesterday and so far I can't believe how good the growth was. This is the best decision in my life to do an HT. DO IT BRO! DO NOT HESITATE a second! Just find a good clinic.
@@up488 It is man. Like the 1st day the transplantation lasted 8 full hours, and the next day it lasted about 7 hours. But it was AN AWESOME experience and I'd do it million times because i'm at the 4th month mark now and the hair is growing like crazy!
I wrapped my neck pillow in the pillow protector too. That way you can keep from getting anything on it. Nice video man, I’m at day 10 post op. I can’t wait to sleep normally again! Hahaha.
I've tried to give it a practice run a few times, and I just seem to lie there unable to sleep for hours, even with a Cabeau travel pillow. It can be really difficult to sleep on your back.
I just arrived from Turkey. The clinic asked me to lie dow flat using only one pillow and the neck pillow as this avoid the forehead swelling. By the way I stayed in this same hotel the Selectum City.
Today is day 10 for me after my transplant in Istanbul. Lowkey going crazy with no coffee & no lifting 😅. Your vid’s are really helping me out big time! After you removed your scabs did up moisture your scalp or did you continue to keep it dry?
Hey Amit. I love your videos! You documented and explained almost every steps that we can find our answers for our questions. I got hair transplant on 25th May, 2023 in Turkey, 5 days ago. I have two questions for you: 1- how did you deal with the donor area sensation? I am experiencing this pain after 3rd day of operation. 2- I would want to wear a stylish cap or hat after 3rd week of ops. Does wearing cap weaken or avoid growth of hair?
its tough! i honestly avoided wearing caps for the first 2 weeks at least, to let my new transplanted hairs breathe. Also because the donor area is still so sensitive, even for a hat. The sensation does go away after a while, and im sure by now for you its become a little better. When laying down use a satin textured neck pillow, that helps with the donor area much more then regular pillows in my opinion!
You're the best baldie transplant RUclipsr... insightful. The only question I have is, how long did the headache last from all those needles poking your scalp
I still have nightmares from those numbing injections and the continuous feeling of needles being drove into my head to keep it numb. I’m 10 days post and my head still feels slightly numb and more tender now than it was a week ago.
@@whitejodeci8926 No man, you had every right to act like a little bitch. I know I did. I’m pretty sure my handprint is a permanent mark on the arm rest of the chair. I knew they were gonna hurt after doing research, but nobody can prepare you for just how much. I mean, how bad can a needle hurt, right? Well I found out real quick. My transplant was a 3 day process so I had to go through it 3 days in a row. The 1st day I didn’t know what to expect but got through it. The 2nd day I knew so I gripped the chair, gritted my teeth and held my breathe and by the end of the 2nd day I was convinced I was NOT going back for the 3rd. I was willing to live the rest of my life with a fucked up, half done hairline but it actually wasn’t as bad on the final day. I guess because I was partially numb from the 2 days prior. Jesus, it’s been a month and I still can’t feel the top of my head. Aside from the shedding phase I’m currently in, the donor area still being tender as fuck and the non stop itching, it was all worth it when I look in the mirror. I have a year now to mentally prepare myself for going back to get the crown done.💉💉💉😰🤪😳🤦♂️
@@whitejodeci8926 I'm 1 month post op now. Mine was a three day process to extract/implant 3000 grafts to the hairline/frontal area (1000 grafts per day). I'm sure my doctor thought I was a crybaby during the numbing injections. The first day I didn't know what to expect so I sucked it up and gritted through it. The second day I gripped the armrests of the chair, held my breathe and told him to just do it and get it over with. By the end of the second day I was convinced I wasn't going back for day three. I was willing to spent the rest of my life with a f*cked up half done hairline just so I didn't have to take those needles again. 3rd day actually wasn't that bad though, I guess because my head was still partially numb from the two days prior. I have a year now to recover from the trauma before I go back to get the crown done. 😰😰😰
I'm getting mine on september 5th. I get my temples done and a bit of the crown. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the sleeping. Not sure how you can sleep in a 45 degrees angle when you have hair transplanted in the crown. It's still going to be touching something I think.
Hi, thanks for the great vids. I'm on day 4 and have been having a lot of trouble sleeping at an angle or my back. I have the same neck pillow but when i wear it and lean back the pressure of the neck pillow against my donor area on the back of my neck/head gives me a lot of pain. Any pressure hurts and makes it more sore. Any suggestions?
unfortunately there is no real solution to this. the best i can recommend is to take painkillers before you sleep as it will help reducing that pain. i recall when i did it there was always soreness but over time it does subside. Hang in there!
Bought an Amazon 10" foam wedge and your Cabeau. I'm only having temple areas so will try upright-ish leaning to side (or 45 degrees). My middle back hurts if I lie on it. Yikes! Does the donor area hurt if it is on the pillow? My doc says you can't damage that part but it will be sensitive.
Hey man I just got a hair transplant in turkey 4 weeks ago. I wanted to know when you were experiencing the shock hair loss/ shedding did you hairs fall out with hooks and/or what looked like tiny black bulbs at the end. Thanks and love the channel.
im experiencing it now haha. but yes that is very common, i used to be afriad about that stuff but after already going through it once, and seeing my past result, its nothing to fear. Dont worry it'll all come back!
Hi Amit! I'm on my 11th day, would it be okay to sleep on my stomach and get my transplanted areas come contact with the pillow? I toss and turn a lot in my sleep and tend to press the pillow a bit hard on my sides and top of my head (i.e. transplanted areas). I'd really appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you!
its definately possible but there's always a risk of you turning on accident when you're asleep. i personally would not take that risk but if you are confident of making sure you'll be ok, then go for it!
I just transplanted my hair two days ago. I did not had thing around my neck but accept pillow. How long do you recommend to sleep in back? I have very difficulty to sleep in my back instead I sleep in my side. Thank you for your advice
at least 9-12 days sleep upright. It helps to reduce swelling overall and also helps to make sure your grafts are not touching your pillows! after your scabs are out you can go back to sleeping on your back or side
Hello I’m getting my hair transplatation on monday so I’m flying in Saturday to Antalya. And i wanted to order that pillow on Amazon but it’s currently unavailable,so do you know is there a replacement for that pillow? Thank you 🙏🏻😇
its not recommened to use fibres that early after a hair transplant as it may block some potential growth of new hairs. You can start using them usually after 2-3 months tho!
Anyone know if scabs falling off with hairs are common. I have tried my best to sleep straight but I always wake up in sides. I have seen 2 of these in the 7th day and I haven't had my head wash yet.
@@garrysingh3337 turning in bed may be unavoidable but this definately helps to reduce the chances as the sides have a higher protective cushion to keep your head up. I mostly used it for the entirety of sleeping upwards!
It helps control post-surgical swelling and improves the healing process! also to prevent any grafts to be touched during the first 3 days so there's no risk to losing grafts after
Can anybody answer this question for me as far as the travel as they called an all inclusive package….. do you know if the price includes round-trip airfare or is it just the hair transplant and accommodations ?if somebody could tell me that would be great!
yes of course! usually it does not include a round-trip airfare, that is the only thing you'll have to pay for yourself! I have a video going through the full cost including and excluding an airfare ticket here - ruclips.net/video/-MH12Kka0uY/видео.html
Hope this sleeping guide helps you guys get into deep sleep and dreaming about new hair soon 😅
Is the travel neck pillow to avoid back of the head touching anywhere or prevent us from turning in bed?
I want something to avoid turning in bed?
@@garrysingh3337 Stops people turning in bed, but will also keep the transplant off the pillow.

I just started doing this, laying on my back kills my lower back but the pillow under your legs helps a lot
@@whitejodeci8926 I hope you recover soon. Six months now and it is totally worthed. I didn’t expect to be that good.

Speed recovery, you will look incredible.
In some ways this is the most useful video, knowing how to sleep and how to keep from touching anything on the plane via the neck pillow is great!
The sleeping and the f$$king ITCHING!!!! Brutal. Thanks for the video.
so itchy! thanks for watching!

When can u sleep normal ?
Love your videos Amit! Congrats on the new hair transplant.

Did you? I would definitely expect that as I get it after almost every haircut when sides are short even when it’s just 3mm 😭

Could you utilize hair fibers to cover the light areas while the new growth fills in after the first 2-3 weeks?
its not recommened to use fibres that early after a hair transplant as it may block some potential growth of new hairs. You can start using them usually after 2-3 months tho!
@@amitposthair Thank you for the information. I appreciate the response.
When can you sleep on your side? I'm not a back sleeper.
i'd say after about 12 days, once the scabs are out.
So the donar area can touch the pillow after 6 day just not the new grafts ?
Yes but I would suggest still using the neck pillow after day 6 as the donor area still be sensitive!
What about after 10 days? Can we sleep normally after 10 days?
yes! you can! but i found that i still used my neck pillow to sleep on for at least 14 days. After that i switch to my pillow and it was fine!
Anyone know if scabs falling off with hairs are common. I have tried my best to sleep straight but I always wake up in sides. I have seen 2 of these in the 7th day and I haven't had my head wash yet.
yeah that is pretty common! dont fear tho its part of the process. its just making way for the new hairs!
By far the itching and the sleeping
seem to be the hardest parts of the whole process...
agreed! it's the most toughest!
Is the travel neck pillow to avoid back of the head touching anywhere or prevent us from turning in bed?

From the side, it looks like your neck pillow is in contact with your donor area. How is that good?
It's not in contact actually! There is a small gap between the donor area and the pillow at the top so you actually don't touch it as much
As long as the top is not touching anything, you should be fine.
Do you sleep 45 degrees?
yes i did!
Are you sponsored ?
im not!
Can you sleep on the side with head pillow with out anything touching ur graft ? My graft is only on the top of my head and hairline
you should try to sit upright for the first few nights as much as possible! sleeping on the side makes the anastesia go more to the side of your head
after 10days can we sleep normally again?
In theory yes, but I personally continued sleeping with a travel pillow for at least another week!
