  2. Before the operation, the drugs used for chronic (blood pressure, diabetes, heart, stomach, etc.) diseases should be specified.
  3. If smoking is used, smoking should be stopped 1 week before as it may adversely affect the operation.

Factors such as the patient’s age, gender, hair type, color, the rate of shedding and whether the shedding continues should be thoroughly examined, determined and acted upon by your doctor.
