Are hair transplants during pregnancy safe?

June 1, 2022
Asked By:PocketKafka in San Francisco, California

I'm currently trying to conceive, and also hoping to have a hair transplant in the next couple of months. I'm going to schedule consultations for the hair transplant, but just curious if it would be safe to have the hair transplant while pregnant or trying. Based on similar before & after pictures online, it might be 2000 grafts (not sure if it matters). The bald patch isn't likely to change in pregnancy. I've never had a bad reaction to anesthetic and have no allergies

About how many grafts would I need to get transplanted for a full head of hair? (photos)
Matt Tahsini, MD says:

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your picture I don't think a transplant is the answer for you. I suggest seeing a dermatologist for an exam and perhaps using medication for thickening your hair. Best of luck to you. Dr. T

Can I do a collagen powder supplement after ARTAS?
Casey Anderson, MD, FACS says:

5 months post ARTAS FUE. 750 grafts. Should it be thicker by now?
Christine M. Shaver, MD says:

It is not uncommon for growth to start 4-6 months after hair transplant. By 6 months, you should begin to see growth, so if you are at 5 months post-surgery then I would monitor a little longer. If you do not notice growth at 6 months then I would follow-up with your surgeon.
