Recovery & staying in Ho Chi Minh City
A hair transplant is usually an easy recovery but a comfortable, low-key few days makes it easier. Here's how to do it well in Ho Chi Minh City.
Where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City
District 1 and District 3 keep you close to the main clinics and to comfortable hotels. Look for a room away from the late-night bar streets around Bui Vien. You want sleep, air-conditioning, and a short, gentle commute for your follow-up appointments.
Gentle things to do while you heal
For the first days after your procedure, keep it slow and stay out of direct sun.
You can
- Short walks along the Saigon River at dusk
- Air-conditioned cafés and the cool of a museum
- Quiet District 3 streets away from crowds
Avoid early on
- Direct midday sun on the grafts
- Swimming pools and the beach
- Heavy sweating, gyms, and exertion
Easy, soft food for the first days
Ho Chi Minh City makes recovery eating easy: pho and chao (rice porridge) are soft and gentle, and fresh fruit smoothies (sinh to) are everywhere. Skip very hot, hard, or alcohol-heavy meals early on.
Airport and getting around
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is about 30 minutes from District 1. Arrange transfers with your clinic or use Grab (app-based cars) rather than walking long distances in the heat for the first few days.
Extending into a recovery break
Once your surgeon clears it, a gentle Mekong Delta day trip or a short flight to Da Nang turns the trip into a proper rest. Keep anything strenuous or sun-heavy for later in your recovery.
