I have inactive hepatitis B. Can I still go for FUE hair transplant surgery?

Question

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

This should be no problem. Most all clinics should adhere to universal precautions... which means... everyone is potentially infectious for blood borne pathogens so take precautions and do procedures. A no brainer.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Testing positive for hepatitis should not be an issue with respect to having surgery.  However, you need to inform your doctor of your medical history.

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

Inactive Hepatitits B is not a barrier for you to have hair transplant. You can have the operation.

Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Account Suspended · Answer

This will not be a reason to not go ahead with a hair transplant. Most places will do a blood test ahead of time and this will show up but it is important that you make the doctor aware as well just so precautions can be taken.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Yes, you can have a hair transplant but make sure that your surgical team understands that you have this in your medical history
