Hair transplant surgery allows you to cope with baldness, make your appearance more attractive and restore self-confidence. This is an excellent solution for those who want long-term and permanent results. The transplantation efficiency reaches 95-98%, which indicates almost complete engraftment of the transplanted follicles. Such success depends not only on the professionalism of the doctor and the level of the clinic, but also on the patient’s compliance with restrictive measures during rehabilitation. In particular, there is a categorical opinion regarding alcohol intake before and after hair transplantation. We are recommended to choose hair transplant in Turkey such as Worbimed, to ensure your hair transplant is successful.

Alcoholic drinks have a serious impact on human condition and health, which is explained by psychotropic and toxic effects. In addition to the obvious harm to well-being, alcohol reduces the effectiveness of hair transplant surgery. For this reason, you should not drink either before or after transplantation. It is during this period that the most active engraftment and tissue regeneration occurs.

Ineffectiveness of anesthesia. Despite the minimally invasive method, the collection and replanting of grafts causes unpleasant painful sensations.For this reason, local anesthesia is performed first. Wine, champagne, beer or cognac drunk the day before will not help you relax, but on the contrary, will interfere with the action of the pain reliever.This may result in pain and other discomfort.

And since the operation lasts several hours, there is a risk that the patient will refuse it.Increasing the dose of anesthesia will not give the desired effect, and any anesthesia worsens the regenerative processes.

Doctors use the minimum dosage, which allows you to remove all sensations without damaging the follicles.Bleeding.It has been proven that alcohol makes the blood thinner, which impairs blood clotting and causes bleeding during and after surgery. This can cause difficulties during transplantation and lead to the loss of already transplanted follicles.In patients with bleeding, results are significantly lower.In addition, the risk of infection increases.

Dehydration. Alcoholic drinks cause swelling of soft tissues due to fluid leaving the blood vessels.That is, there is water in the body, but it is not enough for the veins and arteries to function properly.For this reason, during a hangover, severe thirst occurs.Thus, the hair follicles are harmed twice.Edema disrupts the healing process, compresses the bulbs and causes death.And the lack of fluid in the blood impairs blood circulation and disrupts the transport of oxygen.

Ineffectiveness of antibacterial treatment. You cannot combine alcohol and antibiotics.This causes severe poisoning and poses a threat to life.For this reason, the patient often refuses to take medications, which increases the risk of severe infections, the appearance of purulent foci and complete loss of transplanted follicles.In addition, alcoholic drinks suppress the immune system, which is why the body’s own defenses cannot cope with infections.

Sweating. To eliminate swelling, the body tries to remove excess fluid through the skin through sweat.As a result, the crusts become soft, easily damaged, cellular respiration is disrupted, and the risk of inflammatory reactions increases.Scarring and loss of transplanted hair may occur.

Impaired coordination and loss of control over body position during sleep.In the first 7 days, it is very important to sleep in the correct position so that your head does not touch the pillow. Under the influence of alcohol, the patient may not notice that he has changed position, pressed on the transplant area, or even scratched his scalp.

Increased levels of stress hormones. For the body, alcoholic drinks are toxic substances, so it mobilizes all resources to break them down as quickly as possible.In particular, the production of stress hormones (cortisol and prolactin) is stimulated, which negatively affect the condition of the hair - they cause vasospasm and disrupt blood circulation.

Intoxication. Ethyl alcohol breaks down in the body into acetic acid and water, but the intermediate substance, acetaldehyde, is very toxic.It causes poisoning and can provoke vomiting, during which there is a strong rush of blood to the head and sweating. These two factors are the most dangerous for transplanted follicles.

To reduce the risk of negative consequences, alcohol should be avoided before and after the transplant. The reward will be beautiful hair and excellent health.
