Asked By:hiteshparakala in Nyack, NY

Hello Doctor, I recently had hair transplant surgery and I smoke 6 cigarettes per day (0.4 mg nicotine per cigarette, 6 cigarettes - 2.4mg). Will this effect the transplanted area? Will this compromise the growth of grafts? I am confused, hope your answer solves my problem.
