Most hair transplant procedures allow you to eat normally before surgery, but it is important to follow specific guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. We generally advise avoiding alcohol, caffeine and heavy or fatty meals for at least 24 hours prior to your procedure, as these can affect blood pressure, increase bleeding risk and interfere with anaesthesia.
At Evolved Hair Restoration Clinic, you will receive detailed instructions on what to eat and drink, including suggestions for light, easily digestible meals on the day of surgery. Staying hydrated is also important, as it helps maintain overall comfort and ensures the scalp remains in optimal condition during the procedure. Following our pre-operative dietary recommendations helps to minimise complications, keeps you alert and comfortable and contributes to a smoother surgical experience and quicker recovery.
