Recovery planning
Recovery should be explained before the procedure is scheduled.
A clear recovery plan helps patients understand visible healing, graft protection, washing, sleeping, work, exercise, hats, shedding, and follow-up timing.

The plan considers how sleeping after hair transplant affects design, density, timing, and follow-up.
The recommendation stays conservative when shock loss timeline changes what is realistic.
Recovery is part of the treatment plan.
