This is very unusual for hair transplant and was seen more commonly with older techniques. Do you scar poorly everywhere? I would need to see you in person to develop a plan to improve this area.
We always advise our patients to avoid alcohol 48 hours before surgery. The reason is that alcohol can increase the bleeding during the procedure.Alcohol intake two days before the hair transplant is certainly not recommended, but it will not affect the growth of the transplanted hair.
