Duration of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a long surgical procedure that usually takes six to nine hours. That’s a really long time, and your blood sugar needs to be factored in.
Anxiety, adrenaline and long-term hunger that can be experienced in any hair transplant process can cause the release of another hormone called “glucagon”. Glucagon acts in the opposite direction to insulin and prevents blood sugar from falling too low. High glucagon levels in a person with diabetes can raise that person’s blood sugar to dangerous levels. If you are deemed suitable for hair transplantation, we can take routine blood samples at regular intervals during the procedure to measure whether your blood sugar is at normal levels throughout the procedure.

Healing of the scars after hair transplantation
As you already know or have experienced, some diabetics have problems in healing. Scars that can heal quickly in a person without diabetes can heal in a much longer time in diabetics who cannot keep their blood sugar under control.
Scars also get infected more easily, which can lead to necrosis, or death, of the surrounding tissue. This is due to circulatory problems and is especially manifested in the foot area.
The blood circulation in the scalp is quite good and the problem of scar healing is not very common in this area, however it is still possible. If you choose the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique as the hair transplantation technique, you will have much less problems than the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, since only very small scars will be formed on the scalp in this technique.
Regardless of the method you prefer if you have diabetes, our doctors will want you to visit our hospital more often to check your recovery process.
Consequently, we can say that as long as your type 2 diabetes is under control, our specialists will take the necessary precautions before, during and after the procedure, and will work hard for you to get a successful result from hair transplantation like everyone else.
