How Should Nutrition Be After Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. This procedure usually takes 8-9 hours and the decision-making process for patients is quite challenging. Hair transplantation consists of a three-stage process of preparation, operation and recovery. Aftercare instructions are of great importance for the continuation of the successful results obtained after this challenging process.   Some patients may wonder what diet should be followed for faster healing of the donor area and better placement of the transplanted hair follicles. What foods should I consume after hair transplantation? What should I do to accelerate healing after transplantation? etc. We will answer your questions in this article.

Why is nutrition important after hair transplantation?

Adequate nutrition is of great importance for the healing process after the hair transplant operation and for the healthy growth of the transplanted hair follicles. The content of the blood carried by the capillaries that nourish the hair follicles should be supported by a regular and rich vitamin intake of the patient after the operation. Proper nutrition provides a number of positive effects after hair transplantation:

  • It minimizes the loss in the number of transplanted hair follicles.
  • It reduces the effects of the shock hair loss process and accelerates the healing process.
  • It helps to prevent ongoing hair loss.
  • Supports hair strengthening and densification thanks to the vitamins in the blood.
  • It positively affects hair health and contributes to healthier and faster hair growth.
  • By increasing the rate of cell regeneration, it helps the wounds that occur after hair transplantation to heal faster.

How Should We Eat After Hair Transplant?

Hair transplantation is one of the most common surgical interventions performed worldwide. This procedure usually takes 8-9 hours and the decision-making process can be challenging for patients. It also requires knowledge and experience for hair transplant surgeons. Nutrition is extremely important to ensure the continuity of the successful results obtained at the end of this challenging process. It is necessary to follow certain nutritional guidelines to ensure that the hair follicles are adequately nourished in the process after hair transplantation.

Do Not Overeat!

Overeating should be avoided. To facilitate the resting process after hair transplantation, light foods should be preferred and oily and fried foods should be avoided. This will help the body to spend its energy on healing the scalp wounds and accelerate the healing process. At the same time, an overly fatty diet can trigger acne formation in the transplantation area.

Do not starve and do not follow an intense diet program!

It is important not to starve and avoid intense diets. Since hair transplantation is an operation performed for aesthetic concerns, some patients see this process as an opportunity to renew their physical appearance. However, diets aimed at rapid weight loss may cause the patient to be malnourished and the hair follicles may not be able to meet the necessary vitamin needs.

Stop Smoking!

Smoking should be stopped for a long time. Smoking has oxygen-depleting and blood flow-slowing effects that negatively affect the hair follicles. This may cause the newly transplanted sensitive hair follicles to weaken and fall out. Smoking should be avoided before and after the hair transplant operation.

Quit Alcohol!

Alcohol consumption should be avoided. Alcohol is known as a substance that can harm general health. Alcohol use can negatively affect a significant part of nutrition in the process after hair transplantation. In addition, impaired body coordination under the influence of alcohol may increase the risk of impact to the transplantation area.

Adopt a Regular Nutrition Program!

It is important to adopt a regular nutrition program. Regular nutrition is essential for general health even after hair transplantation. A balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins and minerals can help the newly transplanted hair follicles to strengthen and the operation site to heal quickly.

Avoid Harmful Foods!

Harmful foods should be avoided. Healthy foods should be preferred to provide the nutrients necessary for hair follicles. Avoiding harmful snacks such as acidic drinks, sugary foods and chips is important for general health and the healing process after hair transplantation.

Consume Nuts in Snacks!

It is useful to consume nuts in snacks. Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts are known for hair health. They are recommended to be consumed regularly during the recovery process after hair transplantation. Walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts are rich in zinc, omega and selenium, while peanuts stand out as a nut rich in biotin.

What are the foods that should not be eaten after hair transplantation?

  • Excessive fatty and fried foods.
  • Sugary and high-carbohydrate snacks.
  • Drinks containing alcohol.
  • Acidic drinks and carbonated drinks.
  • Drinks containing caffeine.
  • Salty and savory foods.
  • Spicy and spicy foods.
  • Fast food and ready meals.
  • Smoking cigarettes

  • Foods containing vitamin B such as chicken, meat, bananas, avocados, brown rice, nuts and eggs should be consumed.

Zinc Mineral:

  • Zinc deficiency can cause hair loss, so zinc-rich foods such as oysters, beef, cashews, spinach and pumpkin seeds should be consumed.

Iron Mineral:

Iron deficiency can lead to hair loss. Iron-rich foods such as spinach, beef, beans, oysters and beef liver are important after hair transplantation.

Vitamin E:

  • Vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties, speeds up the healing process and heals damaged grafts.
  • Foods containing vitamin E such as almonds, spinach, avocado, sunflower seeds and olive oil should be consumed.

Vitamin C:

  • It acts as an antioxidant and accelerates healing. Vitamin C also prevents hair loss and hair graying.
  • Foods containing vitamin C such as peppers, kale, kiwi, broccoli, berries and citrus fruits are important.

Vitamin A:

  • Vitamin A supports the cells of the hair follicles, preventing dry and itchy scalp.
