Many women are concerned about hair loss. 

One of the concerns especially for those who are planning a pregnancy or approaching childbirth is

the timing of a hair transplant.

Today,

with Dr. Yoo Seung-hyun of Dana Plastic Surgery,

we will take some time to look at the topic,

"Hair Transplant Surgery: Is it better before or after childbirth?"

Dr. Yoo Seung-hyun said that

if you compare before childbirth as O and after childbirth as X,

and ask which is better,

X, after childbirth, is better! 

That was his answer.

The reason has to do with estrogen. 

Estrogen is a hormone that helps with hair loss. 

When a baby is in the womb,

the level of female hormones,

that is, estrogen, is said to be high. 

Because of that,

it helps prevent hair from falling out and holds it in place well.

But

after giving birth,

as female hormone levels return to normal,

 the hair that had been held in place by female hormones

starts to fall out.

This phenomenon is called postpartum hair loss.

Dr. Yoo Seung-hyun said that

this postpartum hair loss

is caused by hormonal changes,

and it is not a case where the hair follicles have been damaged

or where hair loss has progressed,

so in most cases it returns to normal.

Therefore,

if you are planning to become pregnant,

a good time to plan a hair transplant would be after giving birth,

after breastfeeding has been fully completed, and then after about one year.

Dr. Yoo Seung-hyun concluded that it is best to proceed with hair transplant surgery after childbirth as much as possible.
