Is a special diet required after a hair transplant?

Question

Dr I just had hair transplant 12 days ago do I need special diet to follow to get good results

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Hair restoration should not require a special diet to create a good result, however, you should follow the post-op instructions provided by your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

There is no special diets that are required post op of any hair restoration procedure that I am aware of. Just try to eat healthy and wait for your grafts to grow in.

Thanks for your question. A special diet is not needed. Please ask your doctor about after care instructions as every doctor has hs/her own recommendations.

you do not need a special diet to follow to get good results after hair transplant but you need to be careful to not touch  implant site to anywhere for 2 weeks . you may  support the healing process with consuming  more protein than before the operation ..

All you need is a healthy diet with a good balance of proteins, greens and vegitables.  A good hair transplant will grow in a healthy person
