Hair Transplant in Diabetic Patients
Hair transplant can be performed on individuals with diabetes, but extra precautions should be taken due to the healing process and risk of infection.
The Importance of HbA1c Value
Before the operation, it is desired that the patient's HbA1c value, which shows the average blood sugar level over the last 3 months, is under control (preferably below 7).
Monitoring the Healing Process
In diabetic patients, capillary circulation is weak, which may delay wound healing. Therefore, post-op antibiotic treatment should be closely monitored.
