After a person decides to have a hair transplant, he begins to prepare himself for the operation, both physically and psychologically. In this process, a person usually tries to find the best hair October center by getting more detailed information about hair transplantation. Since the hair October center of your choice will directly affect the success of the operation, we recommend that you do thorough research on this issue and not rush. Since the three stages of hair transplantation; pre-preparation, operation, and the post-operation process will have different dynamics from each other, their requirements will also be different. There are many factors that affect the success of treatment from the beginning to the end of treatment. For this reason, meticulous care and attention should be paid at all stages of a hair transplant process. Although technically a successful operation has been performed, it is possible to get the best results by following the rules after hair transplantation and with the care shown by the patient.
Food
By taking into account the instructions and recommendations given by your doctor after hair transplantation, paying attention to what you eat with it will help healthy growth and strengthening of New planted hair follicles. By being cautious about nutrition in this process, choosing foods that are useful for hair will also support increasing the rate of cell regeneration after October and reducing the recovery time after surgery. Therefore, every food you consume will necessarily have an effect on the newly planted hair follicles. Cell membrane dysfunction can occur when your nutritional system is devoid of micro and macronutrients (minerals, vitamins, proteins, and fatty acids). This condition disrupts the normal life cycle of the hair, preventing the hair follicles from coming out again by feeding and can also cause hair loss to continue after hair transplantation. To have healthy hair roots, you can rearrange your nutrition plan with the nutrients we list below:
- a. B-Complex Vitamins
B-complex vitamins such as B7 (Biotin) and B12 have a very important role in the structure, quality, and healthy growth of hair. These vitamins also support the metabolism of food sources, providing nutrients to the entire body, including hair and hair follicles. For this reason, doctors usually recommend their patients to use B-complex vitamin supplements after hair transplantation. Foods rich in vitamin B can be listed as follows: chicken, red meat, bananas, avocados, brown rice, nuts, and eggs.
- b. Zinc
In cases of zinc deficiency, hair thinning and hair loss occurs as a serious problem. For this reason, it is very important to get zinc support after a hair transplantation operation. Zinc also plays a very important role in tissue repair, collagen production, cell proliferation and growth, hormonal balance, vitamin absorption, and protein synthesis. Some foods are rich in zinc: Lamb, chickpeas, shrimp, whole grains, spinach, eggs, and fish.
- c. Iron
Iron deficiency, such as zinc deficiency, can also cause hair loss. Iron strengthens hair, improves hair texture, helps transport oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles and scalp. Thanks to this important function of iron, it will be further possible for patients to get results that meet their expectations. Again, since iron strengthens the immune system, the recovery time after hair transplantation will accelerate. Foods high in iron include spinach, beans, veal, oysters, and veal liver.
- d. Vitamin E
Vitamin E has antioxidant properties. It is very effective in passing scars as it accelerates the healing of damaged skin. After the wounds in the donor area and in the October Area heal, vitamin E oil can be rubbed to soften the tissue and improve its quality. Some foods are rich in vitamin E: almonds, avocado, spinach, sunflower seeds, and olive oil.
- e. Vitamin C
Vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant, has a very important place in the production of collagen, which plays a vital role in the healing of wounds. Vitamin C is also helpful in combating oxidative stress, which is responsible for hair graying and hair loss. Foods rich in vitamin C can be listed as follows: pepper varieties, cabbage, kiwi, broccoli, small grains, and citrus fruits.
- f. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is needed for the development and growth of all cells in the human body, including hair roots. Vitamin A is also effective in the production of sebum, a substance similar to adipose tissue that moisturizes the scalp and makes hair healthy. A deficiency of vitamin A can cause hair loss, as well as lead to a dry and itchy scalp (itching in the scalp is one of the temporary side effects that can be seen after hair transplantation). Some foods are rich in vitamin A: carrots, sweet potatoes, veal liver, cabbage, spinach, and pumpkin. One point we recommend that you pay attention to nutrition is your cholesterol level. When you reduce fat from your diet, your LDL (bad cholesterol) values will decrease and your HDL (good cholesterol) values will increase. By keeping cholesterol levels within balanced limits, both wounds heal faster after surgery and healthy hair growth is achieved.
