RSS FeedPregnancy and Hair TransplantPosted by doctorhasson on August 5th, 2010
I am considering a hair transplant. I am 30 year old female. My husband and I have also decided on trying to get pregnant. I am not sure if it is better to do the surgery first or wait till after the baby. My concern with after the baby is I am aware that during pregnancy my hair will be temporarily thicker- so if I do the surgery before post pardum shedding then my hair will be abnormally thicker for the surgery, in turn getting a smaller surgery than needed, and after the normal post pregnancy shedding I will not be happy with results. In addition, if I do the surgery immediately after the shedding stops I will be temporarily thinner than usual (because of the shedding) and have a larger surgery than needed and kill off “good” hairs just because they were shed. On the flip side if I have the surgery before pregnancy how long after the surgery should I wait till becoming pregnant? Will becoming pregnant after the surgery affect the results in anyway? — T.L.
You can have a hair restoration procedure before getting pregnant and up to the first trimester of pregnancy. If you are not able to have surgery before the pregnancy, you can have surgery four months or later after delivery. The changes in density and amount of hair lost during pregnancy will not affect the overall long term result of the hair transplant regardless of which option you choose.
