Can I take whey protein after 2 weeks of a hair transplant?

Question

I need to grow my hair well with rapid that's why i thought whey protein would be best option for it but does it increases DHT directly or indirectly ?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Whey protein will not affect the growth of your transplanted hair. It will not have an impact with respect to surgical results.

Thank you for your question. Whey protein will not have any positive affect on your hair growth. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

In my opinion whey protein will not have any effects on your hair transplant even 1 day post op. You should be fine.

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

Should be okay just make sure it doesn't have creatine added as creatine is an oxidizer and known to damage hair follicles. Many protein supplements say "with energy boost" that is code for creatine.

After a hair transplant you can eat anything you want. Taking extra protein will not make the hair transplants grow faster, just good surgery will do that
