Do I Need to Keep Taking Hair Loss Medication Even After Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hello, this is Dana Plastic Surgery. 😊

Many people who have had hair transplant surgery often wonder whether they absolutely need to keep taking hair loss medication after the procedure.

Why should hair loss medication be continued after surgery?

In male hair loss, the concept of taking hair loss medication after surgery is well established.

However, this is not necessarily the case for female hair loss patients.

So, why is it necessary to take medication after hair transplant surgery?

Because the transplanted hair does not fall out, but the existing hair continues to lose hair.

This is a photo of a patient who did not take hair loss medication separately after M-shaped hairline surgery.

The transplanted hair remained the same, but hair loss progressed in the existing hair, and as you can see in the photo,

hair became sparse.

Also, some people may think, "If I do not take medication after the hair transplant and my hair keeps falling out, can’t I just get more transplanted?"

Even if all the hair in the back of the head is used, it still is not enough.

It is not possible to transplant at that density, and it is less natural than the hair that originally exists.

It is also financially costly and therefore a loss, and the hair in the back of the head can continue to decrease.

So, from the beginning, the formula of (for male hair loss) getting a hair transplant = 반드시 taking hair loss medication properly

needs to be established.

Of course, even in female hair loss, you should take the medication properly after surgery,

but in male hair loss, getting a hair transplant means

that you need to make an effort to further prevent the progression of existing hair loss while taking medication.

Today, we took time to answer the question of whether you must take hair loss medication after hair transplant surgery.

Because hair loss can also occur in the existing hair, you need to keep taking the medication consistently after surgery to prevent further hair loss. 😊
