General information

Length of surgery

• Hair transplant surgery usually takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the scale and method of the surgery, but typically takes around 4-8 hours.

Toilet break

• During long surgeries, it is common for breaks to be taken at appropriate times. If you let the doctor or staff know that you need to go to the bathroom, you will be able to take a bathroom break at the appropriate time.

During surgery

Pre-surgery explanation

• Before surgery, your doctor will usually explain the procedure and toilet breaks to you. If you are unsure, it is a good idea to check the timing and procedure for toilet breaks in advance.

Effects of local anesthesia

• Hair transplant surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, so patients are awake and able to go to the toilet on their own during the procedure, although it is recommended that staff assist them as they may be dizzy due to the effects of anesthesia.

Time for a break

• There will likely be a break between the collection and transplant of the donor hair follicles , allowing you to go to the bathroom at this time. Breaks usually occur every 1-2 hours.

Comfort during surgery

Proper preparation

• It is recommended that you go to the toilet before surgery. It is also effective to be careful not to drink too much water before surgery.

Relaxed approach

• To reduce tension and anxiety, it is a good idea to create a relaxing environment before your surgery and discuss any questions or concerns you have with your doctor in advance.
